The question is taken as notice. Oral questions, Mr. Todd.

John Todd Keewatin Central

Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister responsible for Economic Development and Tourism. On December 12th in Hansard Mr. Pollard stated, "I think economic development starts at home.... If he is asking this government if we have plans to go clamouring around the world trying to promote the NWT, I would have to say, 'No.' I think we are interested in starting at home, working at home, looking at southern Canada, looking at this continent...." Given the current trend of offshore activity, Expo, Japan, Germany, will the Minister give us his assurances that these activities and expenditures will not continue without quantifying the net effect to the northern economy and its people and not merely be a free ride for a privileged few?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Further to Mrs. Marie-Jewell's question, my question is directed to the Minister of Personnel. Mr. Bernhardt's question was not whether or not the government's hiring of specialists like doctors and

scientists from outside the country, rather, why the government makes a practice of hiring personnel from outside the country for very ordinary positions, such as superintendent of Government Services and Department of Public Works for the Kitikmeot. That was the question.

Mr. Speaker, on the first part which I have taken the liberty to interpret myself, we take the question of Mr. Bernhardt or the way he phrased it, the answer should be no, because there is no policy. That is what Jeannie Marie-Jewell was getting it. The way I interpreted it was to say: Would I look at the situation that is in existence there? That is why I said, yes.

On the concern that the honourable Member is making now, I would say we are going to look at the situation that I responded to earlier today.

Oral questions. Mr. Koe.

Fred Koe Inuvik

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question regarding the review of POL, petroleum, oil and lubricants program, tendering procedures. Last Thursday my honourable colleague for Aivilik asked the Government Leader for a status update on the Anderson investigation into tendering practices for POL contracts. My question is the for Minister of Government Services. Can the Minister advise the House as to whether Mr. Ben Anderson is still working on his review for tendering procedures used in awarding POL delivery contracts?

The Speaker Michael Ballantyne

Government Leader.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To whomever. The terms of reference for the Anderson review initially targeted four communities. Were these terms of reference expanded to include all the communities where contracts were awarded?

Mr. Speaker, upon reviewing what the report says, I will also look over the original mandate and whether they were expanded or not. At this time I could not say.

Oral questions. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Jeannie Marie-Jewell Thebacha

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On Friday I asked the Minister of Transportation if he would be considering pavement on Highway No. 5 from Sandy Lake to Fort Smith. He indicated that he would provide me with a map, and he also stated that there is consideration for pavement, in 1993, from kilometre 0 to 60. Mr. Speaker, in reviewing the map I recognize that it is from the Pine Point junction to Sandy Lake. So he is going to repave the existing paved area in 1993. I would like to ask the Minister of Transportation if he is going to consider paving from kilometre 60 into Bell Rock, which is kilometre 238, prior to 1993.

The Speaker Michael Ballantyne

Thank you. Minister of Transportation.

Mr. Speaker, yes, we could consider that but currently we have no plans to pave from Sandy Lake to kilometre 238. We have plans to treat the surface with calcium chloride and oil base DL-10. That was applied to the remaining 140 kilometres of Highway No. 5, kilometre 92 to kilometre 238, for the control of dust in the summer of 1991. I will take the Member's advice to see what we could do in terms of planning to pave that particular highway. I will get back to the Member as soon as I can. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs. Mr. Speaker, last week I made the Minister aware of the difficulty the hamlet of Rae-Edzo is encountering with their cash flow. Could I ask the Minister what measures or what steps he has taken to help that particular municipality?
