Question O155-12(1): Moneys Wasted Because Of Petroleum, Oil And Lubricants Program Tendering Process
Item 5: Oral Questions

James Arvaluk Aivilik
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand that Mr. Anderson's report on the tendering of POL, petroleum, oil and lubricants program contracts has been forwarded to the Government Leader and just as the 11th Assembly's finance committee suspected, the tendering process was badly flawed. In fact, Mr. Anderson's conclusion was that, given a difference process and a modified criteria, the government might have entered into a contract of a lesser magnitude than those that were awarded. My question is to the Minister of Government Services, Hon. John Ningark. Is he able to advise the House how much money has been wasted because these contracts were awarded using a flawed tendering process?

My department is as concerned as the honourable Member. Only yesterday we had a briefing with Mr. Anderson. There is a review going on within the department. The amount of money spent was not given to me, Mr. Speaker. I would like to take the question as notice.

Question O156-12(1): Follow-up Anderson Report

Samuel Gargan Deh Cho
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand upon receiving the Anderson report on the tendering of POL contracts, the government has decided to ask Mr. Anderson to do a follow-up report, which will include recommendations for improvement of work processes. I believe that should have been included in the original terms of references. My question is to the acting Government Leader. Will he ensure the House that Mr. Anderson's second report will be distributed to all Members so that it can be discussed openly in our constituencies prior to the February 12th sitting of the Assembly?

Mr. Anderson's original terms of reference included the review of five communities, with the potential to expand the review if necessary. Which five communities were targeted?

Question O157-12(1): Government's Support Of Inherent Right Of Aboriginal Self-government
Item 5: Oral Questions

Henry Zoe North Slave
Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister responsible for Aboriginal Rights. Yesterday the Minister made a statement about inherent right to self-government. Frankly I was a little confused about what this government supports or does not support. To clarify their position, I would like to ask the Minister: Does the GNWT support the recognition of an inherent right of aboriginal self-government in a the Constitution of Canada?

Mr. Speaker, the answer is yes. The reason the statement was made the way it was yesterday is because we want to get beyond just the rhetoric and statement of principle and show that there is an actual process that we are contemplating to try to have these rights exercised with or without the constitutional entrenchment of that right in the Canadian Constitution.

Mr. Speaker, the Minister indicated yes to my question. Has the government developed a position paper on what inherent right entails?
