Mr. Ningark.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, Mr. Speaker, we will be looking at the legal implications with my staff and we will look at the issue seriously.

Oral questions. Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask a question to the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. Could the honourable Member provide Members of this House with an analysis of the restructuring of the Housing Corporation and the changes that are going to be made if restructuring is going to take place?

Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation, Mr. Morin.

Mr. Nerysoo.

A new question to the Minister of Finance. I have had an opportunity to review the Beatty report, Strength at Two Levels, and part of the review that has been provided to all Members. One aspect that has not been a part of the presentations and may be a part of additional presentations is the matter of privatization. I am wondering if the honourable Member is considering the matter of privatization in terms of cost reduction and expenditures with regard to the Government of the NWT.

Minister of Finance, Mr. Pollard.

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Supplementary, Mr. Nerysoo.

Supplementary to the Minister of Finance. Does he have a detailed summary or analysis of how privatization is to fit within the whole issue of the implementation of the Beatty report?

Mr. Pollard.

No, Mr. Speaker, there is no detailed report yet. There has been some discussion with regard to government housing. I think Mr. Lewis asked that question the other day, Mr. Speaker, and there has been some talk about the Power Corporation as well, Mr. Speaker, but that is as far as we have got.

Second supplementary, Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you. I would like to ask the honourable Minister if the report that was concluded on behalf of the Government of the Northwest Territories regarding privatization -- and I know the honourable Member is aware of that report -- whether or not that particular report is being considered when the government is reviewing the matter of privatization and its effect with regard to the delivery of programs and services.

Mr. Pollard.

That report will be taken into consideration, Mr. Speaker, yes.

Oral questions. Oral questions. Mr. Antoine.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Health. First of all I would like to thank the Hon. Tony Whitford for coming to Fort Simpson to attend a meeting with the Deh Cho Council on February 8th. The Minister had the opportunity to listen to the people at the community level.

I believe that this government is supposed to provide programs and services to people at the community level. He heard our concerns regarding the hospital and he saw with his eyes what is required in Fort Simpson. He indicated to us that he had an assessment team coming into Simpson on February 12th and I would like to know when he can provide me with an indication of how he will deal with the situation at the hospital in Fort Simpson. Mahsi.

Mr. Whitford.

Oral questions. Oral questions. Item 6, written questions. Mr. Todd.

I have a written question for the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. Maybe this is one way that I will get my message across. Mr. Speaker, would the Minister please provide the Legislative Assembly with:

1) A listing of all duty travel to the Northwest Territories' communities undertaken by board members and officials of the Workers' Compensation Board during the 1989-90, 1990-91 and to date in the 1991-92 fiscal years, indicating the destination, purpose and total cost of each trip; and,

2) A listing of all duty travel to locations outside the Northwest Territories by board members and officials of the Workers' Compensation Board for the same period of time, indicating the destination, purpose and total cost of each trip.
