Question O320-12(2): Liability Insurance Coverage Available At Storefront
Item 5: Oral Questions

Page 388

Fred Koe Inuvik

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Social Services regarding a request for proposals in the Inuvik Region for young offenders and child welfare homes. Some potential contractors did not, have not, or will not bother to submit proposals for operations of these homes because of a requirement to provide comprehensive general liability insurance.

In an earlier response to a question the Minister indicated that there is an agency called Storefront somewhere in the Territories, where individuals can apply to receive this liability insurance coverage. Will the Minister confirm that this is the case?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Government Leader. My question is with respect to the Hon. Titus Allooloo's visit to Japan for the exhibition of Inuit art. Recognizing there has been tremendous concern with respect to Daishowa's building of their pulp mill in Alberta, which would affect northern waters, I would like to ask the Government Leader if she would consider requesting the Minister, since he is going to be in Japan, to make an attempt to meet with Daishowa to express the concern of territorial residents on the building of their pulp mill in Peace River.

Question O323-12(2): Liability Insurance For Young Offender's Group Home, Lnuvik
Item 5: Oral Questions

Fred Koe Inuvik

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Social Services, regarding insurance coverage for potential contractors to operate homes for child welfare recipients for children in care. These tenders, according to the paper, close Friday, March 13 at 4:00 p.m., which is about 24 hours from now. I mentioned earlier that people are not going to be submitting proposals because of these strict conditions that are in the act. I wonder if the Minister would still consider extending this time period so that people can contact this agency to get insurance, so that they have the ability to look at this a little further? Would you consider extending the timetable here?
