Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. It relates to the report done for the Minister by Mr. Abbott regarding the Northwest Territories Canada Pavilion at Expo '92. Could the Minister advise the House if he agrees with the recommendations in the report on NWT participation at Expo '92, as proposed by Mr. Abbott?

Mr. Speaker, yes. Because of the distance that Seville is from Yellowknife, because of the logistics, a great deal of responsibility has been placed upon the supervisory staff at Expo. They have to be able to make those decisions on site. Any other decisions will come through my office, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, that is one of the recommendations in Mr. Abbott's report. I think I am going to have to wait for Mr. Ward's assessment and also the assessment of the other supervisors on staff before I would be able to make such a decision. If we were to attempt to close our operation in the Canadian Pavilion, it would be a blow against the Northwest Territories and we would also be letting Canada down, Mr. Speaker, and I really must take those things into consideration. I will however, take into account any recommendations from the on-site staff who may wish to change some of the activities in that particular operation for the better of the NWT. But as far as making a decision and saying, "Yes, I will close it," or recommending to cabinet that we close it, I cannot say that without knowing all of the circumstances.

Question O300-12(2): Search And Rescue Boat For Sanikiluaq

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I began talking about this during Members' statements. I was confused on whether I should direct my question to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs or the Minister of Transportation. There has been a request for a big rescue
boat in Sanikiluaq, because they live out in the sea and there are big waves. When there are emergencies they cannot really fall back on anything because they do not have a big boat. I would like to ask the two Ministers about this request for Sanikiluaq. It may be through Renewable Resources. I would like to know if this could be put into the capital estimates for this year. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am responsible for emergency measures in the NWT and I can tell the honourable Member that it is possible for a community to apply for funding for a search and rescue vessel under a Government of Canada program. My department would be very happy to assist the honourable Member and his community to find out what is required and to make the necessary application.

Samuel Gargan Deh Cho
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Safety and Public Services, and it is with regard to flood alert. I received a fax today with regard to the Hay River Reserve requesting the department to provide them with emergency radios while the ice is breaking up in that area. I understand that Fort Liard and Fort Simpson are also in the high risk area and they have been provided with radios for that. Can the Minister assist the community of the Hay River Reserve to obtain communication in the event of a flood?
