Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of privilege under Rule 20(1).

During question period yesterday, I responded to a number of questions relating to the consultation process for the development of a constitution for the western territory. At the time, I told Members that we would be conducting extensive consultation in the communities aimed at ensuring every citizen, who wishes to have input, would be given the opportunity to do so.

I also stated that, while we have not finalized the process that would be involved in this consultation, we would not only be taking forward the main options outlined in the Partners in a New Beginning document, but we also plan on presenting additional information on the other models of government discussed by the Constitutional Working Group.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today on a point of privilege on this matter because of how my comments were interpreted and reported in the news media. While reports on the CBC radio this morning stated accurately that we will be conducting extensive consultation, it was incorrectly reported that we would only be taking the one model forward.

To repeat my comments from yesterday, as reported on page 693 of the unedited Hansard, I stated:

"We have asked our officials to take a closer look at these two other models and come out with some information on those two. Yes, we hopefully will be bringing more information to these consultation meetings in relation to the other two models."

Mr. Speaker, as Members know, this is a sensitive and emotional issue for the people of the western territory. For that reason, I felt it was vital that I stand up today to repeat my remarks and confirm that we will indeed be taking more than one model forward in order to guarantee and generate a healthy and productive discussion.

Mr. Speaker, I state again, for the record, the intent of this public consultation process will be to gather additional input and ideas towards the development of a final model that we could then take forward to the citizens of the west for ratification and, eventually, as a recommendation to the federal government. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and good afternoon colleagues. Mr. Speaker, I would like to talk a bit about a Community Justice Conference that is going to be happening on the dates of February 18, 19, 20 and 21. The Community Justice Conference is going to be held in Cape Dorset and my communities of Pangnirtung and Broughton Island have been invited to go to that conference, and also myself.

Mr. Speaker, I would like the communities of Pangnirtung and Broughton Island to know that, as much as I would like to be at that conference, I feel that it is my duty to be here in Yellowknife during the budget process. Mr. Speaker, I would like them to know that they have my full support, even though I am not going to be there on those dates. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Educational Requirements In Anticipation Of Division

Item 3: Members' Statements

Page 435

Levi Barnabas

High Arctic

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this government talks about how important it is for people to be educated. It is really important for the people in my area as they get ready for Nunavut. If we want people to be ready for jobs, they need more than Grade 12. They need to go to college or university. This is very hard to do, especially for the people from smaller communities. They have to leave their homes and families; they have to travel long distances; they have to get used to a new community.

Mr. Speaker, one thing we do to help people to improve is through financial assistance. The government gives students support with grants and loans. We offer a good level of financial help compared to other places in Canada. However, even with this support, it is very difficult for students. They do not have enough money. We encourage people to go to college so they can get a good, decent job. Often, they do not have a job before they go to school. This means that they do not have extra money saved up. With the high cost of living in places like Iqaluit, the student financial assistance does not go very far.

Many students and their families have very little money while they are trying to go to school.

Mr. Speaker, we need to encourage people to improve their education. It is too hard for them or their children. They want help in order to go to school. People have enough trouble now with the funding available. We cannot afford to reduce the assistance for the people to attend college and universities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we grind our way through the budget for 1997/98, I intend to become very focused on the material contained within that relating to the government. I want to just remind people of an issue, that we cannot ignore, that relates to the economy. The economy that we are all so worried about, not only in the west, but in the east.

Mr. Speaker, I think it is very important that as we look at the second year of the budget reduction plan, we have to continue to focus attention, as well, on another problem that we have to deal with. We are soon going to be the recipient of many more jobs than we have people for. I am talking about the jobs that are going to be coming to us in the resource sector, in the mining sector and, most recently I think with the upsurge of development, in the oil and gas sector up the valley.

The Minister's committee on mine training, I think, is a step in the right direction but there is a light there for us, a goal for us to strive for. That is to try and make sure that we get some training in place now, not just for the two mines of BHP and Kennecott who are now at the table and are to be commended for their commitment, but for all the other areas, like the east and like the petroleum industry, where the majority of the professional jobs will be brought in from the south.

I think it is a position that other jurisdictions would like to have and that is the fact that we are going to have more jobs than we have people to fill them. I think it is something that the Minister, this House and the Government Leader should be keeping in mind and pushing very hard with the industry, with education, in all the planning we do. It is a way to turn the focus away from the gloom and pessimism that now confronts us as we try to slog through this budget. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Initiatives To Construct Curling Rinks

Item 3: Members' Statements

Page 436

David Krutko

Mackenzie Delta

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In regard to the whole subject of community empowerment, community wellness and also dealing with the whole idea of the cuts that are related to infrastructure in communities to date the Fort McPherson community, as well as Tsiigehtchic, do not have curling rinks. The curling rink for Fort McPherson was in the budget three years ago with a price tag of $710,000. To date, it has been slashed from the budget and redistributed to other areas.

These types of initiatives are needed in the communities to allow individuals, who are on social assistance or welfare, to get back into the workforce and feel that they are part of the community by developing community infrastructure, by sharing sweat equity, also, by working along with interest groups that will go out of their way to raise funds, by whatever means they have through bingos, lotteries, et cetera. This government also has to contribute to that process. At the appropriate time, I will be asking the Minister of MACA if this initiative is possible within this government.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize the valuable contribution CBC radio makes in getting information out to the Inuit. With division quickly approaching, it is very important that people hear what is happening in their own language. Even though we, the MLAs of Nunavut, stay in Yellowknife during the session, we are able to listen to the news in Inuktitut through CBC from Nunavut. We also listen and hear what other leaders are telling our constituents.

I would also like to thank all the constituents that take the time to call their MLAs and tell us what they have heard if we miss some news items. Lately, constituents have been calling us about comments made by Jose Kusugak and John Amagoalik regarding MLAs' roles in division. I would like to thank the CBC staff and the Inuit who have worked on the constituents for helping inform us.

Release Of Book On Flyfishing In The Nwt

Item 3: Members' Statements

Page 436

Jake Ootes

Yellowknife Centre

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to say a few words about a member of my constituency named Chris

Hanks, an enterprising sportsman and author. Chris is a well-known archaeologist and anthropologist. His field work has taken him into the settlements and on to the land with the people of our territory. Along with his notebooks and excavation kit, he frequently packs a fishing rod and takes advantage of sporting opportunities most of us only dream of. As a result, he has acquired a vast catalogue of memorable fishing stories. About two years ago, Chris started compiling these stories for a book.

The book is now finished and I am happy to report that the first copies of Fly Fishing in the Northwest Territories of Canada are beginning to arrive in Yellowknife. They should be available in the stores shortly. Mr. Speaker, Chris' book has appeal beyond the angling audience. His stories are spiced with details of wilderness travel, natural history and the people of the north. Fly Fishing in the NWT will find favour with anyone who enjoys the outdoors and it will give a little boost to our tourism industry, no doubt.

I would also like to note this book was published without government assistance. Chris appraised his material, identified an audience, and found a publisher who served that audience. I believe that there are many northerners who could follow this example. People want to learn about our lives up here. We have no reason to be shy. Chris' example shows we can find audiences and create marketable products without having to go to the government for help. I would like to finish by extending my congratulations to Chris first, for completing his book which is no mean feat in itself.

Second, I want to thank him for demonstrating that a little confidence and imagination can go a long way. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Then, I worked in Broughton Island, and then I was employed by the Arctic College. In 1992, my wife and I moved to Iqaluit and I would like to say hi to my in-laws (Translation ends) Nunavut is my home.

Iqaluit

All are beneficiaries of the Nunavut land claim and they are the reason that I entered politics to help provide a better future for their life in Nunavut. I am proud to represent Iqaluit in this House and have tried to represent all my constituents equally and fairly. Representing my constituents' interests has at times caused some conflict between me and other Members in this House, but our vision of the Northwest Territories both east and west is the same. We, as elected Members in this House, have tried to come to terms with reductions, deficits, and forced growth.

I have not been home since the 15th of January, and I will not get home until the first of March. Here we have to focus on creating two viable territories while still remembering those at home. I have tried

to focus my attention and highlight the social and economic areas we need to address before division. These include better housing, and good jobs, better health facilities, and increased support to community wellness programs.

Mr. Speaker, Nunavut is my home and I look forward to the end of this month so I can get home to go out caribou hunting with Jerry Ell, and my friends, take the family out to Tare Inlet for picnics and sliding.

Thank you, Mr. Picco . I forgot to mention yesterday that in this House we do have simultaneous translation, and so when you have that, the Members speak too fast and the translators cannot keep up with you. You could lose part of your statements that you make.

If you try to beat the clock this may not allow the translators to translate all your statement. I would like to ask the Members if they could speak slowly and if you need more time, I am sure the Members will allow you that time. But the translators are having problems because Members are speaking faster than usual at times. Thank you for your cooperation. Members' statements. Mr. Roland .

Measures Needed To Prevent Fas/fae

Item 3: Members' Statements

Floyd Roland

Inuvik

It has been a while. Mr. Speaker, recently in Inuvik there has been a study done on a number of the students in Sir Alexander Mackenzie School, the elementary school. It was found that there is an alarming rate of fetal alcohol syndrome and fetal alcohol effects. In this day, the government is reducing its budget and trying to take care of our people in the Territories. I would like to know what we are doing as a government to try and address the problem that we have that is going to be coming up behind us in our youth.

They say 21 percent of the youth in SAMS school are affected by this. This is just Inuvik. How is it in the rest of the Territories or what is the number in the rest of the Territories? Is this government trying to address this? If this is the showing, we have approximately a quarter of our population that is coming up behind us that are going to be into the system, into health care, into education, and so on and so forth. Are we doing anything to try to address this now or are we going to be blown over when it comes to these people going into the system and requiring help? What are we doing to try and prevent this?

I am going to be asking the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services , later on, some of these questions because I believe that we, as a government, need to start addressing some of these issues. As we have talked about forced growth, we are going to have forced growth coming up. If we do not address this, I think that we are going to find ourselves in a similar situation in years to come, trying to deal with things after the fact, and trying to chase the problems with money which we have proven as a government does not work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 243-13(4): Curling Rink Funding

Item 6: Oral Questions

Page 438

David Krutko

Mackenzie Delta

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs in regards to my statement about the possibility of allowing the flexibility to look at developing infrastructure in communities by sharing 50/50 percent of the cost between the local community recreation organizations, by them raising 50 percent of the money. In the case of Fort McPherson, they are looking at developing a scaled down version of a curling rink at about $250,000. They are willing to raise $125,000 if there is a possibility of working some arrangement out with MACA to come up with the additional money to develop this structure in the community. Is there that possibility? Thank you.

But is there another possibility of dealing directly between your department and, say, the curling committee or whatever, who have gone out of their way to raise this funding in regards to recreational funds that may be within your department for that initiative?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My department can work with the community to move towards block funding, because right now that is the only option they have to set their priorities and to have flexibility in their funds in the community to move towards block funding. My department can start working with the community towards that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In regards to the idea of your department sitting down with the community to work towards resolving this issue, as you know, Ms. Minister, that there is presently a lot of construction going on in regards to the school so there is probably a cheaper cost if we take advantage of the present materials that are in the community. Is there a possibility that you can allocate the resources to get on this right away with the human resources so that they can sit down, talk this over with community, and try to resolve it as soon as possible? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the strategy is currently one of the most active things ongoing in the social envelope departments of this government as it stands now. It is in tune with some of the reinvestment dollars of this government for this current budget that is going to go towards early childhood intervention. A significant component of that, of course, Mr. Speaker, is to try and address the issue of FAS/FAE by trying to raise the awareness of the problem and to try to identify the resources to deal with that problem, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

as well as the Members, who had that responsibility. But I will look into it and I will get back to the Member. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the Infrastructure Committee needed an update on privatization and where it is going and where it is at to date that is no problem. Mr. Kakfwi could do that. Thank you.

Question 247-13(4): Status Of The South Slave Land Freeze

Item 6: Oral Questions

Page 440

Jane Groenewegen

Hay River

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is with respect to the land freeze that went into effect in the South Slave area in 1976, pending the successful completion and outcome of land claims in that area. It was my understanding that, at that time, the federal government indicated to the territorial government that, should they come up with a policy with respect to parcels of land for agriculture, that the federal government would entertain the disposal of land for agricultural purposes.

I have been contacted by people in our area, which you know has soil conditions which make for viable market gardening and farming I have been contacted by constituents who are wondering if that policy was ever put in place and if that exclusion was ever communicated to the federal government? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our government is in a position and we have said that we are in support of a land freeze until outstanding land claims are settled in those areas. Our government has not changed that position. It was the position of the government before and it is the same position today; so we have not addressed that issue. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have been on record, many times, as saying that we will work with our aboriginal partners on all land issues in the Northwest Territories and with aboriginal groups. I think it is proper to say that we would not entertain from the farmers' association, a proposal without consulting with aboriginal First Nations and aboriginal groups, in that area. If people in that area would work together, I know, previously that economic development was working with the farmers' association to develop this agriculture policy for that area, but how far that work has gone, I do not know.

So, I would have to look into it. It would have to be in conjunction with aboriginal people in that area, as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the mine training committee is in the initial stages of taking a look at a draft strategy. I would hope that they would have something refined within the next month or two to bring forward to me, but it is difficult to forecast exactly how quickly this will progress. I think that they have taken on this initiative quite strongly.

Considering that the members do not get any compensation for participating in the committee, they have shown a willingness to spend many hours meeting, and have spent, within the last three weeks, in excess of a full day's worth of time discussing issues and initiatives in order to come up with some ideas for a strategy.

There are also representatives of some of the operating properties who attend the meetings, such as Lupin and, I believe, we have some representation from another property, although the name escapes me at the moment.

In response to the latest supplementary, the college, in particular, is already working with the community of Fort Liard, to ensure that people there are able to access training to take

part in the oil and gas exploration work that is under way in that region. There has been some initial work done in the Sahtu. We are watching for opportunities and are ready to move forward to ensure that training is provided wherever there is the potential for jobs, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the basic principles of the committee which is providing me with advice on mine training, is that the training should be portable. The colleges are both kept informed about what is taking place in terms of training suggestions. The answer is that we are looking at setting up training programs that can be used, as I said, wherever we see an opportunity for jobs, whether it be in Nunavut or the western territory.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. When I was in Resolute Bay, I was very thankful that I was made to feel welcome and I am aware of the concern of the Member. We discussed the arena with the residents of Repulse Bay. We told them that we had some money to build an outside arena. It is not really an arena but it is an outdoor hockey rink with a fence around it. That is all the money that we have to build an arena of that kind. I asked my officials to look into whether they could put a roof over the arena outside, even though there is not enough funding.

In the fall of 1996, MACA officials had someone do a plan as to what kind of hockey arena would be built outside. At the end of February, I will hear from my officials as to what is happening with the arena and I will let the Member know. The Resolute Bay residents will be informed as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday in answer to some questions, Mr. Todd stated that the sale of staff housing was going at about 25 to 40 cents, I guess, on the dollar to the appraised value. Needless to say, that has caused some concern in my community where it is around 85 cents or more of the value. Can the Minister clarify where we are going with the actual cost or the appraised value on the sale of staff housing. Thank you.

John Todd

Keewatin Central

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and I appreciate the question asked by my honourable colleague. I may have inadvertently confused everybody yesterday which is not unusual. What I intended to say was that the appraised value of the housing is somewhere in the region of 25 to 40 percent off replacement value. That is what I meant to say. If I said otherwise, I apologize to my colleague and, of course, to those people who are purchasing their houses. I also indicated that the average price that we were getting, off the appraised value, is somewhere in the 86-87 percent.

So, it was my intention to talk about replacement as it relates to appraised value, not sale. So, I apologize to my colleague and to the public at large who are out there purchasing these houses at this time. I appreciate the opportunity, given to me by my colleague from Iqaluit, to clarify the position that we have. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. While the appraisers were territorial appraisers, they were independent business people who, over the last year, year and a half, have gone across the Territories appraising the houses, which of course this government paid for. If an individual tenant was not comfortable with the appraisal, he would certainly be entitled, at his own expense, to ask for another appraisal. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the agreement between the parties was signed off officially by the Deputy Premier and the Minister of Indian Affairs in Iqaluit, I believe, in November. The programs have kicked off so that they are, in fact, being delivered right now. It looks like the training programs are pretty much on

schedule as set out in the unified training document. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there is no question that it is an ambitious program because time is so short. However, the program does extend one year beyond April 1st, 1999 so that we have four years -- it works out to about three and a half years, in which to deliver the training. I believe the schedule, as it is laid out, is achievable. The college is working very aggressively to deliver their part. They are responsible for about 85 percent of the training and Nunavut Arctic College has risen to the challenge, in the three regions of Nunavut, to deliver training as quickly as possible.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs , Mr. Antoine . It is to do with the constitutional process. I wonder if the Minister could tell us, in regard to the funding, the territorial government has committed funding for it and so has the federal government. I wonder if the Minister could tell us what the conditions of the federal funding are on providing money?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the constitutional process for consultation, we have been successful in having commitments from the GNWT for funding as well as the federal government. The federal government has some conditions on the funding that is provided to us. These conditions could be met. We actually had a meeting on Monday and Tuesday nights and on Monday night we had some federal officials there. In the discussions, they were saying that the conditions are based on the preliminary... they may have been too strict but they are willing to relax on the funding.

The main point here is that the agreement is that we are going to go ahead to do the consultation with the money that is provided. Conditions are that we have funding until the end of March but they said they will be flexible to extend it into the new fiscal year. This is mainly a fiscal year type of exercise so there is flexibility there that the funding provided will flow into the new fiscal year so that we can do the work that is necessary to be done. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are some concerns that the federal government has when their officials are meeting. They are concerned about the one model in the document, Partners in a New Beginning. As I said yesterday, there are other models that we have put forward that are being developed further by our staff so that, once consultation begins, we will be able to share that with the people in the communities. The concern of the federal government bureaucrats has to do with the model that is in there. We feel that it is an incorrect analysis that they have. It is not complete.

They never really took a look at the other two models, when they made these conditions. At the meeting on Monday night, they were more flexible so that we will be able to go ahead and utilize the funding for consultation as we had planned. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have to make this one worthwhile then, eh? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think I only received one answer from the three that I gave there. Mr. Speaker, we are all aware of the costs associated with environmental cleanup. Was there discussion with the communities as to whose responsibility such a cost would be in the event that there would be a requirement for environmental cleanup?

I would draw the Minister's attention to one particular environmental cleanup that had to take place here in the city of Yellowknife, where one particular lot has spent, to date, over one million dollars just cleaning the results of spills and leakage from fuel tanks. So the question to the Minister is, has there been any discussion with communities as to who is responsible for the liability for such an event? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are speaking of the reinvestment dollars that I spoke of earlier. I cannot speak of the specifics because it is an overall four and a half million dollars, I believe, from existing funds with the Department of Education, Culture, and Employment. Plus, I believe, $3 million reinvestment dollars that we have targeted for this current fiscal year. So, I do not know the specifics of the breakdown of where each category would be funded, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the funding mechanism is still one of the aspects of the whole strategy that is being worked on currently by departmental officials within the social envelope. So that has not been finalized yet or determined, but once it has gone through the Social Envelope Committee, it will go through the Cabinet, and more than likely through the Social Programs Committee, and back out to Members once that is finalized, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister inform us when this might happen? Is there a certain time line on it, a number of months, weeks, years?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the goal is to have the monies available and accessible by April 1st. As I indicated, there are staff members that are working on this as one of the priorities within the social envelope at this time and I do not have the definite time lines on when each process will be finished. But like I said, it is with the intent of getting the monies accessible by April 1st of this year, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
