Thank you, Mr. Speaker. All I wanted to know was where the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism getting his information from because, as I said, P and L Services did not stop the resource assessment on scallop beds due to the engine problem. It was due to losing money with the contract that they had with Economic Development and Tourism. My question was, from where is he getting his information?

Question O641-12(2): Status Of Report Of Traditional Knowledge Working Group
Item 5: Oral Questions

Fred Koe Inuvik
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On Friday, June 19, 1 asked the Minister of Culture and Communications about a report prepared by the traditional knowledge working group. The Minister responded to one of my questions by stating that he was asked by the executive director of the cultural institute to hold back on responding to the report's recommendations until the group had a chance to review, re-evaluate and reconsider its recommendations. It is my understanding that the group has met, re-evaluated and reconsidered, and has decided that the original recommendations are still relevant. This was communicated by letter dated May 1. The Minister subsequently responded on May 25 stating that he will be bringing a proposal to cabinet in June outlining the way they are going to respond. Has the Minister brought his proposal dealing with this issue to cabinet?

Question O642-12(2):report On Feasibility Of Privatization
Item 5: Oral Questions

John Todd Keewatin Central
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation. Yesterday, in Hansard, the Hon. Nellie Cournoyea indicated that Mr. Abbott, a retired partner with Coopers and Lybrand has been retained to prepare a report on the feasibility of privatization. Would it be Mr. Abbott's intention to discuss this privatization with Northerners? Are we going to be involved in discussions that relate to privatization, or is it going to be an academic exercise?

Mr. Speaker, I would believe that in any exercise such as this, that everyone possible who has information or some assessments should be contacted and dealt with.

Given that privatization could have an impact on the employees and unionized employees, will Mr. Abbott be discussing with the organized labour, their concerns and their input into this privatization thrust?

Mr. Speaker, when we took over the Power Corporation from the federal government, part of the take over included the union aspect of that corporation. When we deal with the privatization of the petroleum products, that would also be part of the consideration in privatization.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know the government is not responsible for communications telephones, but I want to ask if the Government Leader would be willing
to get a hold of NorthwesTel for us to try to provide better services into the communities that require better telephone services.
