Mr. Speaker, I know this is very important revenue for many people in the communities. If I could have more specifics on which communities are having difficulty I would be able to be more effective in any kind of correspondence we put forward. Thank you.

Supplementary, Mr. Ningark.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not think I have the liberty to answer questions, but I will answer the question at the same time. I am speaking of Pelly Bay, Gjoa Haven and Taloyoak. Would the Minister check into the situation?

Ms. Cournoyea.

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Item 5, Oral Questions. Mr. Gargan.

Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Transportation. Mr. Speaker, last month I asked a question with regard to the operation of the Merv Hardie pulling the Coast Guard on Beaver Lake. At that time, the Minister responded about how much time and money was spent. He did say that $50 worth of additional fuel was wasted at that time. The ferry was absent for approximately 67 hours from doing its job in ferrying vehicles across. Twenty large tractor trailers and 27 automobiles were waiting -- I do not know on which side of the river. I would like to know how much this government had to spend with regard to the salaries which were used up, and also to inform this House, what was the average operating cost per hour for the ferry's operation?

Mr. Whitford.

The question has been taken as notice. Item 5, Oral Questions. Item 6, Written Questions. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a written question for the acting Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment Programs. Will the acting Minister please provide the House with the following information:

1. The name of the official appointed as superintendent for the South Slave Divisional Board under subsection 54.2 of the Education Act;

2. A listing of any additional powers and duties determined for the superintendent of the South Slave Divisional Board under subsection 65(e) of the Education Act; and

3. A summary of all payments of honorariums and other expenses incurred by members of the South Slave Divisional Board of Education, pursuant to subsection 67(j) of the Education Act to date in the 1992-93 fiscal year.

Mr. Speaker, I have another written question, if I may proceed.

Please proceed, Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

I found it somewhat difficult formulating this one, Mr. Speaker, because I was not sure who to address it to. Recognizing that the Government Leader serves as a senior Minister of this government, I hope to direct this question to her.

Will the Government Leader examine the activity of the Languages Commissioner and report the following information to the Legislative Assembly:

1. The status of the annual report required under section 23 of the Official Languages Act; 2. A summary of all expenditures made by the office of the Languages Commissioner with respect to casual staff;

3. A summary of the destination, purpose, duration and cost of all duty travel undertaken by the Languages Commissioner since her appointment;

4. A summary of the destination, purpose, duration and cost of all duty travel undertaken by staff or other officials in the office of the Languages Commissioner, since the appointment of the Languages Commissioner;

5. A list of the prescribed organizations referred to in subsection 23 of the Official Languages Act;

6. The dates, duration and locations of meetings held between the representatives of the prescribed organizations and the Languages Commissioner, as required by subsection 23 of the Official Languages Act;

7. A list of the types, duration and number of all service contracts by the Office of the Languages Commissioner; and,

8. A statement indicating the number of reports provided to the Government Leader, deputy ministers, and other administrative heads of institutions by the Languages Commissioner, pursuant to subsection 221 of the Official Languages Act.

Mr. Speaker, I would appreciate it if I could get a reply prior to the conclusion of this session. Thank you.
