(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to put this question to the Minister of Renewable Resources. In reference to what you had stated earlier, the Inuvialuit Final Agreement was signed in 1984, so there is a possibility of putting them into the new conservation act. Will the Tungavik agreement be included in the new wildlife act with reference to the game management board? Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is in reference to the Inuvialuit Final Agreement. When the Wildlife Conservation Act is to be commenced, all the other agreements will be easier to include in the amendments. As I stated earlier in regard to the Gwich'in agreement, it would be easier for them to be included in the act, as well as the TFN agreement. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for the NWT Development Corporation regarding the arts and crafts retail outlet at the Toronto airport. Mr. Speaker, I assume that there will be some direct employment created in Toronto for the day-to-day operation of this outlet. Could the Minister tell us, please, how many persons will be directly employed by the retail outlet'?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have hired a manager. She is presently working on schedules, and I expect to hear from her shortly on the number of hours we have to stay open and the number of people she intends to use. I would imagine, though, Mr. Speaker, that we would start out with a fairly small staff in the beginning until sales build up. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary to the same Minister. Given that this government has often told us the importance of training northern workers, this would seem like an ideal opportunity to train Northerners, not just in the retail business but in the marketing of arts and crafts. I understand that a similar arts and crafts outlet at Expo in Seville will employ Northerners. Will the Minister instruct the corporation to hire only Northerners for the remaining positions at the Toronto retail outlet?

Mr. Speaker, using the kiosk in Toronto to train Northerners has been considered for two reasons: They would have better knowledge of the product they are selling, and it would create some employment here and some experience for people from the Northwest Territories. I anticipate that will happen within the first six months of the store's opening. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister of Justice. A concern was raised in Baker Lake just recently, and as a result the mayor of Baker Lake wrote a letter asking the Minister about young offenders or people who have been detained in the local jail for weekend purposes. In a response to the mayor, the minister writes that it is the policy of the force that a member of the force must be present when family members or friends visit an inmate in cells or at the detachment. I would like to know whether, when people are being held in the detachment and for non-violent reasons, they would be able to go in and visit their family members and their friends. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I think the RCMP are quite willing to have family members visit persons who are jailed in local lockups whenever possible; so if a member is present, Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that every effort
will be made to allow those visits to occur. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand that a member has to be present when a family member or friend visits, but what I am asking is that there are security guards who are hired to sit in at a time when a member is not there, and this is the question that has been raised by people in Baker Lake, because there is a person there who is guarding the cells. Why are they not able to come in and visit their family members, especially when the person who is detained has not committed a violent crime? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I am not sure why RCMP policy does not consider a security guard as adequate security for visits of those kinds. I am not sure why they insist that it must be a member of the force. Mr. Speaker, I will undertake to look further into the matter with the RCMP and determine why the community's suggestion cannot or should not be put in place, Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe this is a question for the Minister of Education. I believe the Minister will be aware that several district and regional boards of education are doing their own research into the possibility of installing satellite receivers in schools to receive educational programs. My question for the Minister is, will the Minister inform the House what steps his department is taking to coordinate planning for this project)
