As you well know, most of us have been tied up in the Legislative Assembly for the last while. Once we conclude, we will be redoing our schedule to
see how we can deal with those issues. So I have not remade the schedule yet because I do not know at this time when the Legislative Assembly is going to conclude. But as soon as it is concluded, we plan to sit down along with the list of the schedule that has been provided yesterday. We have to work around that. At the earliest opportunity we will be sifting down and trying to work around the schedule that confines us to the responsibility of the House. Thank you.

Question O476-12(2): Delivery Of Eye Team Services To Keewatin
Item 5: Oral Questions

John Todd Keewatin Central
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Health, Every time I deal with this department, frankly, Mr. Speaker, I get more and more annoyed every day. Mr. Speaker, I was astounded today to learn that the Department of Health has once again mismanaged an agreement to fund the delivery of eye team services to aboriginal people in the Keewatin Region. The terms of this service were discussed earlier with the Keewatin Regional Health Board, and there was an agreement reached about the number of community visits and days of service to be provided. At the very last moment, just before the funding agreement with the federal government was to be finalized, the board has learned that the department has once again stabbed the region in the back. Without giving the board proper notification, it has effectively reduced the level of service by 31 per cent and plans to limit the service to Keewatin communities to one three-day visit, one visit, a year.
Mr. Speaker, I wonder who is in charge of this department. I wonder if they even care what is going on outside of Yellowknife. I am, frankly, personally, fed up with it.
Will the Minister put an immediate halt to the negotiation of the contract related to the delivery of eye team services in the Keewatin, until proper and appropriate consultation takes place with the Keewatin regional board?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have another question to the Minister of Public Works, which also relates to the computer-aided design and drafting. I understand at the present time the one station in the department which is extensively used for road site and lands planning is extremely busy. Will the Minister assure this House that his department will not expand to add another CAD, computer-aided design and drafting, station while there are private sector businesses capable of taking on this work?

I am not aware of all the facts of this issue. I have talked to the department about it this week, and they are going to get back to me. As soon as I am aware of all the facts, then I can make a decision. I will take the question as notice for now. And even if the House is not
sifting, I guarantee to the Member I will get back to him.

Samuel Gargan Deh Cho
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for the NWT Development Corporation, Mr. Pollard. Recently the corporation announced that they had purchased Patterson Sawmill in Hay River for $1.7 million. Since that time, the Minister has told this House that although the venture has not been earning a profit, the corporation has developed a business plan that projects a profit in three to four years. Will the Minister provide me with a copy of the business plan for the Patterson Sawmill?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Department of Economic Development and Tourism has announced plans to assist with the Inuit art exhibition in Japan in May. As part of this assistance, the Hon. Titus Allooloo will be travelling to Japan in May, as the representative of this government. Could the Minister tell me who is responsible for putting on this exhibit, the department or someone else?

Not to my knowledge, Mr. Speaker, although as I said earlier today, we do have a consultant working on it as well. But obviously we will be paying for Mr. Allooloo's way over there.
