(Translation) Using the dogs for the studies are easier and they are not noisy.. It costs less too. How come they are still using helicopters for surveying?

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It seems it is better to use this type of study method. I will inform the people who are going to be doing the studies this spring that using dog-teams would be better than helicopters.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Government Services. I wrote the Minister with regard to telephone services. Members have indicated the advance in computer technology, but we still have the situation in Kakisa where they do not have the luxury of that advanced technology. They still have communications by old mobile radios. The Minister indicated to me that this government is not responsible for the telecommunication services to communities, that only where there are government services provided are they responsible. So where there are no government services, is it true that the government will not assume responsibility to ensure that telecommunication services are provided?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe that where the community wants to get a utility, I believe this is the responsibility that should be directed to NorthwesTel.

The Minister is also aware that in order to install telecommunication services or telephone lines to the community of Kakisa, it would require about $89,000. For a community that size, it is money they cannot raise or afford to put into the capital costs of such a project. Is the government looking into assisting those communities where there is no telecommunication services?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think this is something we can review. I received a letter some time ago, and I will be talking to NorthwesTel and my cabinet colleagues on this.

Question O475-12(2): Aboriginal Organizations' Review Of Northern Accord Agreement
Item 5: Oral Questions

Fred Koe Inuvik
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources. On April 1, 1992, the Minister stated in a response to a question asked that the Northern Accord agreement will be signed by. the territorial and federal governments by the end of May. Have aboriginal organizations been given an opportunity to review and suggest changes to this agreement?

Mr. Speaker, I will just make a correction. I did not say that we would be signing a Northern Accord by the end of May. I said there were some issues that were fairly clear and outstanding to the GNWT and that Mr. Siddon was hoping and was trying to have the deal concluded by the end of May. Thank you.

Just to clear up my response. This has not been concluded yet, and the changes have not been made substantially to what the aboriginal groups know already. Certainly if there is any move that we feel has any significance, that changes the present document, yes, they will be involved and will be given the opportunity. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Gwich'in Tribal Council and the Sahtu Dene/Metis Council have concerns about benefits agreements included in these proposed acts. Have their specific concerns been addressed? How will the department be dealing with these two groups?

Mr. Speaker, I do not know the exact date, but not too long ago, I think before the session, we did have a meeting with the Gwich'in and I certainly realize that according to the Gwich'in claim they would like to see some elements, particularly on community benefits, confirmed and concluded. We will continue to work with the Gwich'in and the Sahtu in regard to developing the community benefits package.
