Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In response to the government restraint budget, and in response to the extremely hard times of financial management, the project is deferred, and we hope that we will be able to put it in this year's budget. Thank you.

Oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Zoe.

Mr. Ningark.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the commitment was made by the previous government. Mr. Speaker, the project, as I said a number of times, was deferred until such a time when we can find the money. Hopefully, we will be able to find money to fund the project in the next fiscal year. Thank you.

Oral questions. Mr. Zoe.

Mr. Ningark.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I have mentioned a number of times, we are going through hard times, and as each and every Member of the House knows, they were told the bad news that some of their projects were being deferred. Mr. Speaker, I will do everything within my power as the Minister responsible for Renewable Resources to see that project goes on in the next fiscal year. Thank you.

Oral questions. New question, Mr. Zoe.

Minister of Finance, Mr. Pollard.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are a couple of issues here. One is that in the 1991-92 fiscal year there was $400,000 budgeted and approved by this House for this particular project. The project did not go ahead this year and, consequently, the $400,000, as the Member knows, will lapse. The project has not been included in the capital estimates that are before this House at the present time, before committee of the whole, and the Minister who is sitting immediately to my right, Mr. Ningark, has said that he will do everything that he can to ensure that project will appear in the next budget brought into this House, for capital, which will be in the fall of this year, Mr. Speaker, designed for 1993-94.

Mr. Speaker, the Department of Renewable Resources is committed to this project, and they intend to bring it forward to FMB in next year's budget. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

written questions. Mr. Bernhardt.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a written question for the Minister of Justice. Would the Minister please provide this House with: a) a list of all cases in which an absolute discharge has been granted for sexual offenders by territorial court judges within the past five years; and b) a listing showing participants and dates of all training initiatives undertaken by any and all judges of the territorial court within the past five years, dealing with topics related to gender issues, sexual assault, or the sentencing of sex offenders? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to table Tabled Document 15-12(2), if you would permit me to read it first.

Mr. Bernhardt, the process is that you just tell us what the document is.

Pardon my ignorance. I would like to table Tabled Document 15-12(2), a transcript of the territorial court judgment rendered in February, 1990, which includes a summary of sentencing patterns and sexual assault cases in the Northwest Territories and elsewhere. I would like honourable Members to know...

Excuse me, Mr. Bernhardt, the normal practice is just to give the title of the document. If you would like to refer to it in a Member's statement tomorrow, you are more than welcome.

I will give it to the Page here and you can have it.
