(Translation) Mr. Speaker, I have already asked this question to the Minister responsible for Economic Development and Tourism. I have been trying to establish a park in the Cape Dorset area. Even though they have been trying to establish a park there, it has not been progressing. There are trainees. I wonder if the Minister has consulted with the economic development officer in Cape Dorset to try to solve this. Thank you.

Mr. Pollard.

Yes, I will, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Oral questions. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister responsible for Renewable Resources. Mr. Speaker, I want to indicate to the Minister of Renewable Resources that the Fort Smith Hunters' and Trappers' Association has not had a meeting for their members for the past three or four years, I believe. It would seem that they are not even in compliance with the Societies Act. They are not in good standing. I would like to ask the Minister of Renewable Resources if his department has given any funding in 1992 to the Fort Smith Hunters' and Trappers' Association.

Mr. Ningark.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, not to my knowledge.

Oral questions. Mr. Todd.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, My question is to the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation. The NWT Construction Association, earlier today, expressed concerns with respect to the business incentive policy as it relates to the Power Corporation. There seem to be some inconsistencies. Does the NWT Power Corporation operate under the same conditions as the GNWT business incentive policy?

Ms. Cournoyea.

Mr. Speaker, I do not believe the Power Corporation operates under the same guidelines. The Power Corporation comes under the Public Utilities Board, but, as such, I believe they have exercised a 10 per cent preference for northern businesses.

Oral questions. Mr. Pudlat.

Question O514-12(21: Request For Inuktitut Translation Of Report Of Special Committee On Constitutional Reform

(Translation) Mr. Speaker, since I am a Member of the House, I have to understand constitutional reform. I wonder if I could be given more information so that it could be translated into Inuktitut since I have to consult with my constituents. I am like a blind man when it comes to written English; the report is in English. I wonder if I could be given more consideration, and given more information with regard to the constitutional reform. a

This is a legitimate concern. My understanding is that a copy is being delivered to the Member in Inuktitut. We apologize for any inconvenience to the Member. Mr. Nerysoo.

I have a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the matter of the special committee on constitutional reform dealt with recommendations that were voted in this House when the Member was not even knowledgeable of what those recommendations were.

I am sorry. I do not see the point of order, Mr. Nerysoo, but you did make a point. Oral questions. Mr. Lewis.

Thank you Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Government Leader, following the direction by motion of this House that all cabinet Ministers give her signed but undated letters of resignation and the copies of those be tabled in this House, why is it taking so long to accomplish such a simple task?

Ms. Cournoyea. It is asking an opinion of the Government Leader. Ms. Cournoyea.

Mr. Speaker, all cabinet Ministers have provided me with an undated letter of resignation. The last one received was today. This is why I did not bring forward the letters, because I just received them today. Thank you.

Oral questions. Oral questions. Item 6, written questions. Written questions. Ms. Mike.

Thank you Mr. Speaker. I have a written question for the Minister of Culture and Communications regarding the ICI collection of Inuit fine art housed at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. Pursuant to the 1989 agreement regarding the disposition and dispersal of the Inuit art collection of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, will the Minister indicate whether any parts of this collection were in any locations outside the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre as of March 31, 1992?

Written questions. Before we go to the next item, I have been advised that His Honour, the Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, is prepared to assent to bills.
