Question 104-12(3): Dollars Provided For Safety Education
Item 5: Oral Questions

John Todd Keewatin Central

My question is for the Minister responsible for the W.C.B. I think he said in his response to my honourable colleague from Baffin Centre that in the past, two years ago, dollars were transferred from the W.C.B. to the Department of Safety to provide safety education. How many dollars in the past were provided to the Department of Safety, where it rightly belongs, for safety education?

Mr. Speaker, I believe it was in the vicinity of $200,000. I am not sure of the exact figure but it was in that range. Thank you.

If that is the case, it was $200,000 for the record. What is the anticipated cost now for the Workers' Compensation Board to do this same task?

Mr. Speaker, I am not sure of the budgeted amount. There are, as I understand, two person years involved and a budget for travel and materials. I will have to take the question as notice as to the exact amount. Thank you.

Question 105-12(3): 1991-92 Transfer Of W.C.B. Funds
Item 5: Oral Questions

November 25th, 1992

Jeannie Marie-Jewell Thebacha

Mr. Speaker, my question will be for the Minister responsible for the W.C.B. I have a copy of the Main Estimates for O & M for the fiscal year 1991-92, which was last year's O & M, not the O & M from two years ago. Within this budget this Assembly approved $500,000 from the Workers' Compensation Board to the Department of Safety and Public Services to do safety education. How can the Minister indicate to this House that it was over two years ago when he should know that it was only last year?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I once again stand corrected by the honourable Member for Thebacha. It was obviously last year and not two years ago. It seemed like over a year that I have been in this job, Mr. Speaker, perhaps that will account for my error. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 106-12(3): Decentralization In Kitikmeot Region
Item 5: Oral Questions

Page 146

Ernie Bernhardt Kitikmeot

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Finance as the leading Minister in the decentralization initiative announced earlier this year by this government. As I stated in my Member's Statement today, the Kitikmeot region has once again been ignored during decentralization initiatives of this government. The reason, of course, is the exciting mining developments in the region. I wonder if the Minister can tell me when the people in my region can expect to benefit from these exciting developments? Within the next year, two years or ten years?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Safety and Public Services. Has the Minister received a comprehensive plan for the new Workplace Audit Program that W.C.B. is attempting to develop so he can evaluate whether this new empire actually duplicates mandates within his department?

Supplementary, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister explain to the House why it is necessary for the Workers' Compensation Board to carry out workplace safety education awareness and compliance programs when his department is already supposed to be carrying out these responsibilities? Are his officials not doing their job?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The department receives funding to do some work but we do not have enough money to do all the work. The department inspectors are doing the work they are assigned to do.
