Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to make a motion at this time.

Proceed, Mr. Gargan.

Motion To Consider Funding For Our Lady Of Fort Providence Church In 1992-93 Fiscal Year, Carried

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that this committee recommends to the Department of Culture and Communications that they consider providing the necessary funding for the stabilization and restoration of Our Lady of Fort Providence Church in the 1992-93 fiscal year. Thank you.

Thank you. Can we have a copy of that motion? Your motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Gargan.

Mr. Chairman, most of the Members realize that it has been about three years now that I have been lobbying the Minister and the department and Members to support me in getting moneys for the church in Fort Providence, and basically that is the intent of the motion, to see whether or not the government might be able to identify some moneys to stabilize the building and even be able to utilize it for this winter. Thank you.

Thank you. To the motion. Mr. Todd.

Mr. Chairman, I used to think my children were persistent, but Mr. Gargan in this resolution has perhaps been more patient and more persistent than anyone I have seen in a long time, so based on Mr. Gargan's persistence and the need for this facility, I am going to support the motion.

Thank you. To the motion. Are you ready for the question?

Mr. Chairman, I have one more motion.

Proceed, Mr. Gargan.

Motion To Develop Consistent Policy For Funding Restoration Of Historic Sites, Carried

Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends to the cabinet that they develop a consistent policy for funding the restoration of historic sites in the Northwest Territories.

Could we have a copy of that motion? Thank you. Your motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Gargan.

Mr. Chairman, during the last several years one of the difficulties I have been experiencing with regard to trying to identify moneys to restore the church is that the government really does not have any rules or regulations or policies regarding historical buildings or historical sites. We are now, Mr. Chairman, at a point in time in history when we do have a lot of historical buildings right across the Northwest Territories, and those buildings require moneys. The church does not always have the support required to maintain and restore buildings, so I think it is within reason for communities to ensure that buildings that are of historical significance or sentimental value be maintained and kept in fairly good condition to be used to attract tourists into the community to view those buildings. In saying this, I do not want anything to happen, once the development of such a policy occurs, that my church is part of that policy and I am on the bottom of the list for restoration. I just want to mention that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you. To the motion.
