Jeannie Marie-Jewell Thebacha
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Council on the Status of Women has expressed outrage with regard to the absolute discharge of Paul Quassa, even though he was found guilty of sexual assault, and rightly so. Mr. Speaker, I have not spoken with a woman yet who has not expressed grave disappointment regarding this sexual assault case. I would like to ask the Minister responsible for the Status of Women: Will he be making a public statement on the government's position regarding this case?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have not communicated with women's groups across the Territories. We have women's groups in different regions and communities, and we also have women's groups here in Yellowknife. Once I have communicated with women's groups, I will be in a position to respond to the Member. I will take the question as notice. Thank you.

Question O134-12(2): Child Sexual Abuse Specialist Position For Kitikmeot

James Arvaluk Aivilik
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Social Services. There is a child sexual abuse specialist position in all regions except Kitikmeot. That is a coincidence, I guess. There was an advertisement to fill these positions not long ago. Have they been filled? Will the Kitikmeot be given that child sexual abuse specialist position?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not have an up-to-date answer on whether this position, or any position like that, has been filled. To my knowledge, at the moment, we may be caught in between that freeze on staffing positions. I would like to take this question as notice and reply to the Member as soon as I find that information.

Henry Zoe North Slave
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last week the Minister of Renewable Resources made a return to a question, under advisement, to me, with regard to the office/warehouse
complex in Lac la Martre. Could I ask the Minister, with regard to the comments that he made -- the department advised the community in the fall of 1991 -- could I ask the Minister which department official advised that particular community?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Bob MacLeod, who is the assistant to my deputy minister, advised the chief verbally that the project was under review. And Len Hedberg, who is at the Yellowknife office, wrote a letter to the chief of Lac la Martre stating that the project was being reviewed. The chief, Isadore Zoe, was informed verbally and in writing about the projects being under review. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Personnel. A few months ago the government imposed a freeze on staff hiring. Recently in the papers, I notice, there has been an increase in recruitment advertising. Will the Minister advise this House whether the freeze is still on?
