Deh Cho

Thank you, Mr. Barnabas . Good afternoon. Before we proceed today, I wish to inform the House that I have received a letter dated December 7, 1998, which is in accordance with

section 76.05 of the Nunavut Act, from the Interim Commissioner of Nunavut. I would like to read the following letter received.

Dear Speaker:

Re: Nunavut Power Utilities Statutes Amendment Act

The formal creation of Nunavut is now less than four months away. As we continue our preparation for this historic event, it is necessary to amend certain statutes duplicated for Nunavut to render those statutes appropriate for Nunavut. This bill reflects the determination of all parties to ensure uninterrupted service for the people of Nunavut in the critical area of electrical power generation and delivery.

As required by

Section 76.05 of the Nunavut Act, it is with pleasure that I recommend to the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories the passage of the bill entitled Nunavut Power Utilities Statutes Amendment Act, during the Sixth Session of the 13th Legislative Assembly.

Yours sincerely, Jack Anawak, Interim Commissioner.

Minister's Statement 88-13(6): Petroleum Activity In The Western Arctic

Item 2: Ministers' Statements

Page 545

Stephen Kakfwi

Sahtu

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The western Arctic can expect significant petroleum exploration and development activity during this coming winter.

I recently visited Fort Liard and was very impressed by both the number of opportunities available from exploration activity and the energy vigour with which the community is pursuing them. Fort Liard is not only benefiting from drilling activity near the community, the band has also recently signed a contract with AEC West to provide camp services to the company's BC drilling program near Max Harnish Lake. This activity is providing jobs and business opportunities to residents of Fort Liard and to those of other Deh Cho communities.

The Sahtu also expect significant exploration activity this winter. Both AEC West and Grey Wolf Exploration will conduct seismic exploration in the area. This will generate about 500 weeks of work. Murphy Oil will continue drilling on its lands near Norman Wells and I am expecting further announcements of work in the very near future. In the Mackenzie Delta, the Inuvialuit Petroleum Corporation will continue work on the Ikhis Gas Project. This project, valued at $35 million, will generate 350 person years of employment over its term.

Mr. Speaker, the petroleum future of the western Arctic is very bright indeed. This industry continues to show promise as a major component in our economy. In order for Northwest Territories residents and businesses to rightfully take advantage of that potential, we will continue to insist that northerners have greater control of the benefits that result from oil, gas and mining development. Thank you.

Minister's Statement 89-13(6): Report On The Municipal Legislation Review

Item 2: Ministers' Statements

Page 545

Manitok Thompson

Aivilik

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, later today I will be tabling two reports of the Municipal Legislation Review Committee, "Empowerment Through Community Government Legislation - Nunavut and the Western NWT".

Over the past three years, the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs has been working in partnership with the NWT Association of Municipalities on a review of municipal legislation. This review was undertaken to improve the legislation so that community governments can better serve their residents.

Since the review began, this Assembly has passed three bills which brought about much needed changes to the legislation. In addition to the amendments that were made last year, the Municipal Legislation Review Committee has recommended substantial rewrites of the Charter Communities Act; the Cities, Towns and Villages Act; the Hamlets Act; and the Settlements Act. The committee has recommended further amendments to the Local Authorities Elections Act and the Property Assessment and Taxation Act. A legislative proposal based on these recommendations was considered by Cabinet and the Standing Committee on Infrastructure earlier this year.

With only a few months remaining until the creation of two new territories, this Assembly would not have had enough time to give full and proper consideration to such important and complex legislation. As a result, the government decided not to proceed with the drafting of a bill.

However, to ensure that the recommendations and proposals of the review committee are available to be considered by the governments of the two new territories, the committee has produced a record of its work in the form of this report entitled, "Empowerment Through Community Government Legislation". This report includes detailed drafting instructions that will assist the governments of the two new territories to undertake further consultation, or to quickly prepare bills to implement the recommendations as they see fit.

Mr. Speaker, communities across the north have asked for more flexible legislation. Modern legislation should recognize that communities are unique, and should allow for differences in how they set their priorities and tackle issues of concern. New legislation is needed to make it easier for communities to make the best use of their human and financial resources. At the same time, there is a need to build in safeguards to ensure the territorial government can still identify and assist communities in difficulty. Where possible, the legislation should be made easier to use and understand. The review committee's recommendations and proposals are addressing exactly these things.

I would like to congratulate the review committee on an excellent job, and thank them for their dedication and commitment to this ambitious project. I would like to especially recognize the contributions of NWTAM President, George Roach, and former NWTAM President, Dennis Bevington. Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased with the accomplishments we have made so far. I strongly believe the recommendations and proposals in the review committee's report can provide a solid foundation for the future of communities and their residents in both new territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Minister's Statement 90-13(6): Meeting Of Apprenticeship And Occupational Certification Board

Item 2: Ministers' Statements

Page 546

Charles Dent

Yellowknife Frame Lake

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon. The Apprenticeship and Occupational Certification Board met in Yellowknife last week. The board members are from across the Northwest Territories. They represent both employees and employers. They are all excellent advocates for education and training programs to support northerners in their work.

It is important that we recognize the role of trades people across the north. We need only to look around this Chamber at the woodwork, the glazing and the upholstery to understand the skill and value of the work done by trades persons. Our communities rely on the skills of, for example, carpenters, plumbers, line persons, heavy equipment operators and mechanics. Many of the businesses that supply our needs and employ our sons and daughters are owned and operated by northern trades people. We should reflect on the importance of trades and celebrate their significance.

The recent discussions by the members of the board echo many of the concerns I have heard from Members of this House. First, we must continue to improve our education system so that interested young women and men can access and participate in trades. Second, we need to better inform the public about the importance of trades in our communities. Third, we must continue to work with industry to ensure that our programs meet the changing needs in the workplace.

Over the past few years, in close consultation with the board, we have made important strides in supporting increased participation in trades and certified occupations. The establishment of the Schools North Apprenticeship Program (SNAP), the increasing offerings of the Women in Trades and Technologies (WITT), expansion of career Counselling Services, and post-secondary diamond industry skills training all open up good opportunities for northerners.

I would like to publicly thank the members of the Apprenticeship and Occupational Certification Board for their work and dedication. It is through a strong partnership between employers, labour communities and the government that we can most effectively establish the programs and services needed to support northern trades. Merci.

Ministers' Statements 91-13(6): Transportation Employee Wins National Award

Item 2: Ministers' Statements

Page 546

Jim Antoine

Nahendeh

Mr. Speaker, Members of the Assembly, I wish to take a moment to report that a member of our staff at the Department of Transportation, Mr. Curtis Mercredi, took the award for second place at the National Airfield Maintenance Technician "Rodeo" held recently in Winnipeg. Curtis came first at the Territorial "Rodeo" held earlier this summer in Hay River. This qualified him to compete in the Nationals.

Curtis has been with the department and the Yellowknife airport since 1987; first as a trainee and then as a permanent employee in 1988. A father of two children, he was born and raised in the Northwest Territories and is a long-term resident of Yellowknife. He has represented the Yellowknife airport in a number of regional rodeos and competed nationally before in 1992.

The "Rodeo" requires competitors to run equipment through an obstacle course designed to resemble situations they would encounter during regular airfield maintenance. Once all operators have completed the course, the technician with the highest combined total points is named the overall winner.

Mr. Speaker, the Department of Transportation is proud to have employees like Mr. Mercredi on its staff. His success proves the quality of training the department provides in making sure that our public transportation system gives northerners the best service possible. I know the Assembly will join with me in congratulating Curtis on his award and a job well done in representing the Department of Transportation and the Northwest Territories. Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker.

Member's Statement 226-13(6): Pressures On The Nursing And Teaching Professions

Item 3: Members' Statements

Page 547

Jake Ootes

Yellowknife Centre

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My concern today is how to maintain, enhance and improve our professional workforce. Specifically in two of our front-line professions: teaching and nursing. Both professions continue to provide services to the public while facing employer-imposed hardships - inadequate wages, reduced benefits, substandard housing, and stressful working conditions.

These translate into challenges with retaining and recruiting teachers and health care workers in the north. For both teaching and nursing positions, the vacancy rates over the last few years have been in the neighbourhood of 20 - 25 percent. That is three to four times the expected vacancy rate of seven percent. That sort of vacancy and resultant turnover rate points to a crisis situation.

Both professions show the same three major causes for the high staff turnover: inadequate wages and benefits, substandard housing and stressful working conditions as I mentioned earlier. The stressful working conditions which nurses and teachers face every day are partly due to high staff turnover, but also relate to increased demands for services.

More and more of our nurses are taking on duties that normally would be a doctor's responsibility. Although they are to be commended for this, it is a tremendous workload that demands more skills and work experience. Whether our nurses can adequately handle this added stress is one question, but the other question is, are they being fairly compensated? Are we paying them nurses' wages for doing a physician's work?

Pat Thomas, President of the NWT Teacher's Association, in the association's fall newsletter, says that teachers are already feeling stressed and burnt out in September. Large class sizes, lack of teacher and student supports contribute to this situation, but also there are increasing incidents of student behaviour problems and harassment incidents.

Member's Statement 227-13(6): Meeting With President Of Northwestel

Item 3: Members' Statements

Michael Miltenberger

Thebacha

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, during our last sitting, my colleague from Yellowknife North and I raised some concerns in this House about NorthwesTel's service. Today, we had the opportunity to have lunch with Mr. Boorman, the President of NorthwesTel, our northern telecommunications company, as he referred to it. He gave a compelling overview of the state of telecommunications in the north and some of the huge challenges facing us, if we want to, in fact, keep a northern telecommunications company.

He spoke of competition that is formally going to start in the year 2000, but in actual fact, has started already through the back door of an eroding revenue base, as a result of these kinds of activities, of the tremendous infrastructure that has been built up in the north that no other company would possibly be able to duplicate or maintain. He also recognizes the need to do some improvement of their image with the public and make them aware of the gravity of the situation, as we approach competition in the year 2000, on a formal basis.

The bottom line, he told us very clearly, was if NorthwesTel is not profitable, NorthwesTel will not remain in business. If NorthwesTel does not remain in business, then the services we have come to rely on will be in jeopardy.

Mr. Speaker, they are going to be taking advantage of some opportunities to, in fact, try to adjust that situation and make a more level playing field. They are going for a rate consolidation, and in about six to eight months, they are also going to be looking to CRTC for a telecommunications subsidy, I would assume, sponsored or paid for by the larger telecommunication companies across Canada.

Mr. Boorman also offered to meet with the MLAs to give them a full and detailed briefing of the situation and to solicit the support of this Assembly. Without our support, as the government of the day of one of the major users of that system, the job they will have will be even more difficult.

My colleague, Mr. Erasmus , is committed to, in fact, following up with a letter on behalf of the western MLAs sometime in the new year to arrange such a briefing. I would like to encourage my eastern colleagues, as well, to take advantage of that opportunity. Unless we work together, the system we have invested so much money in, the DCN, and the system NorthwesTel has invested so much money in, will be in jeopardy. It is something that we cannot afford. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

James Rabesca

North Slave

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to talk about violence against women. Mr. Speaker, yesterday we witnessed a memorial for the 14 young women who were murdered in Montreal nine years ago. Every year since this tragic event took place, people across the country have taken

part in the memorial service. It is good to remember all the tragic events that have taken place as a result of women being abused. The reason I say it is good to remember these events, those who are affected, this affects women every year across our country.

I see changes coming, in my community, young people are changing. They do see the wrong that some have done. Young adults, men and women, are also changing. They see that there is no need for any form of violence against other people. Support groups are helping both men and women to heal, however, change takes time.

By supporting memorial services like we saw yesterday, and by talking to the community, we can realize change. This is a very serious problem that affects all of our lives. We must keep striving to protect, and educate, so that, one day, we will cure this terrible problem. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Member's Statement 229-13(6): Delivery Of Alcohol And Drug Treatment Programs

Item 3: Members' Statements

Page 548

David Krutko

Mackenzie Delta

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today about a particular problem still occurring in a lot of our small communities. It is the right for communities to deliver programs and services on behalf of the residents they serve. Mr. Speaker, I am talking, in particular, about alcohol and drug programs and who has the right to refer clients to an alcohol and drug facility in Yellowknife or Hay River.

Mr. Speaker, the Tl'oondih Healing Society have been serving the people of Fort McPherson, the Mackenzie Delta and the Northwest Territories, for over six years. Just recently, they were told by an alcohol drug program specialist in Inuvik that they were not going to be allowed to do it any more. Mr. Speaker, in consultation with the Inuvik Health Board, they are unaware of such a decision.

We talk about community empowerment, healthy communities and healthy people, but this is one initiative that I feel is critical in our communities, especially the smaller communities, where we have a high alcohol and drug problem, problems in regard to violence, and also problems ensuring we have healthy people to take on the initiatives of empowering our communities. We have to ensure that we have healthy students and healthy children to attend our schools and universities.

Mr. Speaker, I stand here today, saying there has to be a better effort made by this government to ensure that the communities' needs are met and that the communities do take on the initiative to take on programs and services, have the resources, and the ability to do it without being restricted by bureaucrats, either at the regional level or here, at headquarters in Yellowknife. I think it is essential, Mr.

Speaker, that this be allowed to happen without the restriction of individuals or senior people in government telling the communities or agents who deliver these programs and services, what they can, and cannot, do. If it works, work with it. If it is broken, fix it. Mr. Speaker, please allow our communities to control programs and services in our communities. Thank you.

Baffin Central

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to bring to the attention of the Members of this House, the territorial government, and the many talented citizens of the Northwest Territories, information which I believe may prove to be of some use.

Northern Encounters 1999, is a circumpolar fine arts festival that is to be held in Toronto, during July of 1999. This festival, which is held every two years, celebrates the arts and culture achievements of eight circumpolar nations. This festival helps to present and promote the Canadian public and the world. A group of geographically and culturally diverse Canadians, northerners whose talents and accomplishments in a number of disciplines have brought recognition and admiration from around the world.

As 1999 is the year of Nunavut, and the 50th anniversary of the first sale of modern Inuit art, Northern Encounters provides a tremendous opportunity to promote the Northwest Territories, its people and its artistic achievements, along with the Nunavut celebrations and the Inuit art anniversary. I would like to encourage the Government of the Northwest Territories, the people in positions to assist the selected artists and those interested in exploring and supporting Northern Encounters 1999, as fully as possible. Thank you.

Member's Statement 231-13(6): Suicide In The Northwest Territories: A Descriptive Review

Item 3: Members' Statements

Edward Picco

Iqaluit

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Health and Social Services released a document

summary, Suicide in the Northwest Territories, a Descriptive Review. This document is a plain language

summary and technical report entitled, Suicide in the Northwest Territories, a Descriptive Review. It was a joint project between Sandy Isaacs and Janie Hawkin of Laboratory Centre for Disease Control, or LCDC, in Wellington, Duff and Guelph Health Unit. Susan Keil, the Department of Health and Social Services, and Kathy Menard, office of the Chief Coroner, both of the Government of the Northwest Territories. The Department of Health and Social Services invited the LCDC to work together on reviewing data and identifying subgroups of the population who are at most risk of suicide and describing the circumstances surrounding the suicides. The study defines suicide as follows: when a person

takes his or her own life with the intent to do so. The report was submitted on March 31, 1998, to Health and Social Services.

Mr. Speaker, suicide has touched many of our families. I found the document to be quite thorough. It dispels some of myths around suicide, for example, that drugs or alcohol used prior to the suicide was not a major factor as some have felt. Mr. Speaker, I suggest that Members, and the public, review the report. I would like to thank Minister Ng and his department, for commissioning the review and, indeed, it is a good starting point to help us address this very serious concern. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Item 3: Members' Statements

High Arctic

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share an incident that happened in Arctic Bay regarding a child who was saved by a brave constituent. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, July 14, 1998, a foster child of Leah and Joseph Okdalak was playing on the ice patches in Arctic Bay. Ililuaq Pudlat, age 11 years old, fell into the freezing water approximately 7:40 p.m. and could not get back on the patch of ice. When Ikiluaq yelled for help, my wife and her brother, Jayko Tatatuapik, heard him and immediately tried to help him out, but they had a very difficult time so they yelled for help.

Mr. Matthew Taqtu was working beside his house and noticed the incident. He took a rope and went to assist them. Mr. Taqtu threw the rope to the child. Because of the freezing cold water, the child lost his strength and was unable to reach the rope, which was thrown to him by Mr. Taqtu. Mr. Taqtu could not reach the child, so he tied the rope around his waist and jumped into the water and saved the child. Mr. Speaker, if had not been for Mr. Taqtu's quick actions, the child would not be alive today. Because of this act of courage and bravery, I would like to nominate Mr. Taqtu to receive the Commissioner's Award and I would like to thank him personally. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Stephen Kakfwi

Sahtu

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is just to inform Members of the Legislature that I have decided today to let my name stand for Premier later this week. The decision to run is a result of careful consideration and discussions with many of you, also with my family and my constituents. In addition, as you know, there has been a tremendous amount of support for my candidacy from the public at large.

The north and our government are at a critical stage in a critical time because of the final drive towards division. It requires stability, continuity and strong decisive leadership. We need to quickly restore public confidence and to revitalize our public service. I am offering my services to you and the people of the Northwest Territories out of a strong sense of duty. We have deep concern about the future of this government and the job that we must do together to address the challenges before us. I believe I have proven my leadership over the years.

My experience is extensive and most importantly, I have never been afraid to tell you where I stand on any issue and to explain my reasons for the positions that I take. Today I wish to focus on the issues before us, mainly the Report of the Conflict of Interest Commissioner. Later this week, I will speak in the Legislature here. When we have our leadership committee on Thursday, I will respond to your questions to give you additional information on my views and my positions. I look forward to your support. Thank you.

Member's Statement 235-13(6): Hockey Weekend In Cambridge Bay

Item 3: Members' Statements

Page 549

Kelvin Ng

Kitikmeot

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to report on the hockey weekend that took place in Cambridge Bay. With the sponsorship of First Air and members of the Oilers Alumni Association, whom we happen to have in the gallery with us today, Mr. Brian Baltimore, Mr. Al Hamilton, Mr. Doug Hicks and Mr. Dave Lumley, they arrived Friday afternoon in the community of Cambridge Bay. There was a feast with music and culture activities that evening at the community hall to welcome them. On Saturday they held some hockey clinics and skating clinics spread out over three different venues over the course of the day.

Of course, on Saturday afternoon my colleagues and I arrived in Cambridge Bay to complement them and make up the MLA Oilers in getting ready for hockey night in Cambridge Bay. We took on a local oldtimers team, Mr. Speaker. We had with us of Members of this House, we had Jiving Jim Antoine who was dancing in and out amongst the opposition players as he scored on a few occasions. He was the leading scorer of the MLA representatives there. We had Mighty Mike Miltenberger who was a dependable stay-at-home type of defence man.

Although I think he probably had to do that by default because his partner was Al Hamilton, who every time he got the puck he was up the ice, and Mr. Miltenberger was standing there pondering on what to do in those situations. We also had Fluid Floyd Roland , who was the other rushing defence man of our defence core. I think he must have been watching Al Hamilton because every time Mr. Roland got the puck he would try and take the puck and go up the ice in a rush on every occasion. It led Mr. Lumley to ask me the question, does Mr. Roland know what a pass is? Of course, Mr.

Speaker, there was yourself, Stomping Sam Gargan.

--Applause

Mr. Gargan , as Members who were there know, made a valiant attempt to stop the opposition from coming out of their end by trying to stand in front of the forward and of course Mr. Gargan got flattened right on his, I do not know if I can say this is this parliamentary language - got flattened right on his ass. As he lay there on the ice, I was quite concerned about the possibility of a medevac for our speaker, but he did not require that. Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to conclude my statement.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and honourable colleagues. I will amend the record to say the speaker's rear-end in this case. Mr. Speaker, and then there was myself, I was wondering, Mr. Speaker, why I was the only Member of our team that was constantly being covered while in front of the opposition net. I knew it was not due to my scoring prowess and I quickly learned at the intermission that the main goal of the local oldtimers was to keep me off the scoreboard. I ended up being double- teamed and hooked and held and tripped. I did manage to draw one penalty, Mr.

Speaker, and I did manage to get a couple of opportunities on goal, and it was only through great saves I might add, that I was kept off the scoreboard? Our team, Mr. Speaker, was rounded out by Joel Otokiak and Thomas Sugassak, a couple of local oldtimers and we had goalie Troy Oakoak for two periods and Walter Haniliak for the final period. I can say also one of the highlights of the day for me was when I was coming on to the bench panting and huffing, a ten year-old sitting at the bench said to me, boy you are a slow skater, I should be playing instead of you. Mr. Speaker, the bleachers were full.

There was standing room only, we estimated that there were probably close to 400 individuals that have come out in support of the evening. There were door prizes, autographed jerseys, autographed sticks, a 50/50 draw, t-shirts and all sorts of things that were given away. The grand prize of the evening was two First Air tickets along with two Edmonton Oilers tickets and accommodations at Edmonton House that was won by ten year old Kevin Kanayuk.

There was also an unexpected auction of a Team Canada sweater and I would like to advise Members that our honourable speaker got into the heat of the bidding with a local individual, Bobby Maghagak, and the speaker ended up prevailing at $180, but I would like to commend him because the next day he turned that jersey over to the individual who he was bidding against so thank you for that, Mr. Speaker.

--Applause

On Sunday, there was a minor hockey pancake breakfast that again, was well attended by over 100 people in the time that we were there. The Oilers were taken on a snowmobile trip, dog team rides and a tour of the Kitikmeot Foods facility in Cambridge Bay. In closing, I would like to say that the proceeds of the fundraising activities went towards the May Hakungak Library Restoration Fund and to minor hockey.

I would like to thank Mayor Wilfred Wilcox and the hamlet staff, Bill Lyall, the master of ceremonies that evening, all the local businesses that provided sponsorship, the over 100 individuals who volunteered in cooking and cleaning and helping out, the community, of course, for their great support, my MLA colleagues for taking up the invitation to participate, the Cambridge Bay oldtimers, of course, who were a part of the whole process and finally last but not least, First Air and Julia Mott, who was the main coordinator and the Oilers Alumni which I will recognize at the appropriate time, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak in support of our civil service. Mr. Speaker, recently there has been a lot of discussion in this House, a lot of questions and answers, concern about former senior employees being possibly in conflict by getting contracts through confidential information that was gained through their jobs.

Mr. Speaker, our civil service is the backbone of this government. We rely on them to do our research, to provide us with that information, to give us advice and to deliver our programs and services. At this time, Mr. Speaker, I wish to reassure our civil service that the discussion in this House is not meant to infer that they are all crooks. The discussion in this House is meant to try to ensure that there is a fair process in awarding GNWT contracts so that private industry of all our former employees have a fair chance of getting every contract we put out. At this time, Mr. Speaker, I would ask all our Members here to join me in showing our appreciation for our civil service. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when the Minister is getting that information, I wonder if he could follow up, indeed, on the same area. I have had some calls from constituents who have been informed, if they are living in Nunavut on a temporary basis, let us say on a contract from September to June, for nine months, they are not eligible for the NWT Health Care card. That seems to me, to be a conflict with the inter-jurisdictional agreements and arrangements we have with other jurisdictions, provinces and territories. Could the Minister speak to that or at least, follow up with the other information that he has? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 266-13(6): New Down Payment Pilot Program

Item 6: Oral Questions

Page 552

Jake Ootes

Yellowknife Centre

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for Mr. Arlooktoo , Minister of the NWT Housing Corporation, and it is with respect to the program he announced last week on the Minimum Down Payment Assistance Pilot Program. There is some concern that the public has raised with me and that is, who will be eligible for this program? I wonder if the Acting Premier could tell us who exactly is eligible for this? The main question is, are Cabinet Ministers or Members from this Legislature eligible for this particular program?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I indicated earlier last week, the new program is designed to be more open and flexible than other previous programs, however, I am not certain whether or not Members of the Legislative Assembly would be eligible or not. I know there are very strict guidelines about Members and Ministers entering into contracts with the government. This is an issue that was raised with me earlier this morning and I have asked my principal secretary to check into the issue. Once I have that information, I will provide it to the Member. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would have thought that the Cabinet would have dealt with that situation before announcing this program. Again, it is one of the areas that I think the public will demand that Members of this House not participate in programs of that nature. Certainly, Members of the Cabinet, who have a responsibility for introducing programs. My second question, Mr. Speaker, is, has this money been budgeted for this program in the Housing Corporation?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, as I indicated last week to a similar question, there are two parts to the budget of the new Minimum Down Payment Assistance Program. One is a little over $1 million from within existing resources that the Housing Corporation has been able to allocate for the start-up of this program and an additional amount of $1.6995 million, I believe, that the Financial Management Board will bring forward to this House in the form of a supplementary appropriation request.

Item 6: Oral Questions

Seamus Henry

Yellowknife South

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Acting Premier, Mr. Arlooktoo , and it is to do with the question around contracting back the services from Nunavut and that potential. There has been much discussion and, I believe there was a list circulated of services which the Nunavut government would require the Government of the Northwest Territories or other jurisdictions to perform. My question is, who will be responsible for the employees if such services are contracted by the GNWT to Nunavut, after April 1, 1999? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is correct, there is quite a number of services that are being looked at for possible contracting back with the GNWT from the Government of Nunavut. I believe the number is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 40 different types of services. The final arrangements or negotiations, are being concluded as we speak.

My understanding of how it will work, is that the GNWT here in Yellowknife, once given the proper advanced notice for what services will be required, will make the necessary arrangements to make sure that the human resources are available to be here in the western Arctic to clear up the services, working for the GNWT. The final bill will be paid for by the Government of Nunavut for those services on a contractual basis. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Acting Premier has noted that there will be approximately 40 services that Nunavut will require some GNWT services on. That will, Mr. Speaker, require sufficient, or a larger, number of employees excesses to what the GNWT needs. Has it been worked out, Mr. Speaker, who will be financially responsible for any particular layoff costs that may be incurred by the GNWT, subject to the services not being required by Nunavut after a year, or whatever time period?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. All costs associated with any necessary layoffs or anything else that is associated with the downsizing of the western government, as the eastern government moves forward, will be negotiated with our federal counterparts. As I have said on a number of occasions, we will continue to document that cost. I think there is an acceptance that some of these costs will be negotiated, of course, because some of these costs are valid and that would be, then, the responsibility of the federal government to provide us with compensation for same.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

On whether or not this is one area it has flexibility on, I would need to do some more research. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If an employee is injured while on the job, they go to the nursing station, there is a form that each nursing station has that indicates the extent of their injury, how long they are going to be off, et cetera. It is a workers' compensation form, I believe, is then sent into the Workers' Compensation Board. They determine if this injury was done during a working environment and assess whatever compensation is then necessary by the staff of the WCB.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe there is a criteria and I apologize to my colleague, I cannot remember exactly what it is, but I am sure there is a criteria set and one of it will be extent of injury, how long they have worked, what level of salary they get. There will be a series of them. I will look into the matter, I think you asked me earlier. I have already asked the Workers' Compensation Board to provide me with a full briefing on it. Off the top of my head, I apologize, I do not know.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, I guess the answer would be probably. As I said to my colleague I will have to look into the matter and I know there is a criteria set, I just cannot remember what it is at the top of my head. I will provide him with a complete briefing on the conditions under which an injured worker would be compensated which will encompass so many days they have to work, et cetera. Thank you.
