I have a written question to the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation. Would the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation provide the following information:
1) What has been the total increase in the operating requirements for the NWT Power Corporation since the transfer to the Government of the NWT? 2) What has been the total number of layoffs or reduction in person years in the NWT Power Corporation since the Government of the NWT took over this responsibility? Would the Minister break this down into community or regional reductions? 3) Would the Minister provide this House with the total amount of financial and human resources that were initially transferred to the NWT? 4) What was the initial breakdown for contract services to the NWT Power Corporation? 5) What is the current dollar amount of financial resources being used for contract services? 6) Would the Minister indicate the businesses involved in these contracts, locations of head offices and northern offices for these contractors? 7) Would the Minister provide a calculation of the total amount of dollars remaining in the northern economy through contract services? 8) Would the Minister provide a breakdown of all of these contracts into regions and communities?
