Thank you, Mr. Speaker. 1, too, am very concerned; and at the first opportunity yesterday, as I said earlier on, I brought this to the attention of the department, and shortly thereafter we instructed the hospital to look into this matter. I will endeavour, through this review, to ascertain whether these allegations are founded or not. If somebody could bring me more information, I would be able to answer these questions, but I only know as much as the Member, hearing on the CBC all of the contradictions from competent medical people about what is alleged to be happening here in the hospital. But I hope this review will bring this to the front and we will be able to get some answers and be able to know that the standard of treatment in our hospital either is or is not what it should be.

I can only offer that I would be prepared to have Dr. Kinloch and Ms. Olenek, the executive director of the hospital, explain from a professional point of view what takes place in procedures like this. The offer still stands.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wonder if I could ask the Minister if he is prepared to invite Dr. Lalonde to appear as well, to provide us with alternative advice and expertise in that particular field. In fact, the individual assessed the procedures at the Stanton Yellowknife Hospital; Dr. Kinloch did not.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have no authority over Dr. Lalonde. I am not sure he would be prepared to come here, but I can take the question as notice and we can get in touch with Mr. Lalonde.

Question O394-12(2): Private Sector Participation In NWT Power Corporation
Item 5: Oral Questions

I will change the subject. Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Government Leader in her capacity as Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation. In a Minister's statement today the Government Leader stated it was the government's intention to establish the NWT Power Corporation as an ongoing concern and then to offer the corporation for private sector participation. I am not sure what private sector participation means. Does it mean the privatization, the selling off of the NWT Power Corporation as was the intention of the previous government and recommended by the standing committee on finance of the 11th and 12th Assembly?

I am wondering if the Government Leader can inform the Legislature and the standing committee on finance when she expects to develop a plan or a strategy. Is there a plan or strategy in place for the privatization of this? Is it phased? Is it put up for sale in the Globe and Mail? Is there some kind of strategy in place?

Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned today, the Power Corporation will be coming under the auspices of the Public Utilities Board, which brings it into the total public review process. At this time I believe that, from all indications, it would be a phased-in process, but as soon as we have that strategy we will provide it to the standing committees, as the Member indicates. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister of Social Services in regard to the regional superintendent vacancy in the Baffin Region. The Baffin Region has not had a regional superintendent for the last six months and there is no acting regional superintendent in place. When is the Minister planning to fill the vacant position?

Question O396-12(2): Extension Of Quiuaq School, Clyde River
Item 5: Oral Questions
Page 473
Rebecca Mike Baffin Central
I have a question to the Minister of Education. Perhaps the Government Leader can relay the question to the Minister. The Quluaq School in Clyde River has been expecting the extension of the school for the last couple of years, and they were informed that the material would arrive last summer. The material did not arrive last sealift, and the community education council has not been informed what happened to the plan that was in place and whether it has been deferred or delayed and whether it got unloaded in one of the communities by mistake. I would appreciate if I could get a reply before the session is over. They are quite anxious to know what is happening.
