Since there will be no presence in Yellowknife of the Science Institute of the NWT, has the Government Leader determined which of the two places in the NWT, Igloolik or Inuvik, will be the place that is combined with that Polar Science Commission?

In light of this knowledge that there is a need to co-ordinate northern science, is the Government Leader prepared to reconsider the decentralization of the Science Institute of the NWT?

Question O654-12(2): Assessment Of Students By Health, Social Services And Education
Item 5: Oral Questions
Page 770
Jim Antoine Nahendeh
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Education in regard to the question he answered on assessment. I would just like to qualify it and say that Dr. Kinloch from the Department of Health briefed me on the assessment going on in Fort Simpson Hospital, and in that discussion he pointed out that assessment was a big concern there. This is correct, there is a great concern in the community of Fort Simpson, as well as in the region, in regard to assesssing children in the eduation system. He even said that approximately 25 per cent of the students in my region need to be assessed. The other day when I asked the Minister about that, he said that approximately 25 per cent of the students in my region need to be assessed, and that the assessments take place in Yellowknife or Edmonton. Today he states the assessment is done by the Department of Health or Social Services and Education and the school boards do not have funds. I would like to ask the Minister if there is a co-ordinated effort on the part of the government to provide adequate assessing of students in the NWT.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The government recognizes that this assessment work has to be co-ordinated. As a result the Departments of Education, Health and Social Services are looking at ways to improve the delivery of all services to children. Their report will be coming back to respective Ministers with their recommendations.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This assessment is very important to the school boards and the parents. When a review is being done to look at assessments by departments, are the school boards and concerned parents going to be involved in this review?.

Question O655-12(2): Increase In Licence Fee By Liquor Licensing Board
Item 5: Oral Questions
June 24th, 1992

Fred Koe Inuvik
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Government Services who I believe is responsible for the NWT Liquor Licensing Board. I have been advised by some hotel owners in the North that the licence fee for purchases from the Liquor Commission has already been increased to 10 per cent from the current fee of five per-cent. This is 100 per cent increase in a time of restraint and higher operating costs, and I think this is going to have a significant impact on customers and operators. My question to the Minister is, what is the justification for such an increase at this time?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The liquor fees increased from five per cent to 10 per cent. There have been no increases since 1972; that is 20 years. It is all part of the user-pay; 0 you want to drink you have to pay. Thank
you.

I pity the drinkers, but my question was on what basis and what justification? Because it has been 20 years since an increase, is not justification, not in times where hotels are closing, bars are closing and less and less people are frequenting these establishments. Why the increase?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is to keep in line with the user-pay arrangements and to help finance the Liquor Licensing Board. That is basically why the increases were put there. Once again, I will say that there was no increase in 20 years. That is enough justification, I believe.

It is my understanding that the five per cent fee that exists more than adequately covers the cost of administration of the licensing board and the inspectors, and with less inspectors because there are less operators, less hotels, less bars, I do not see any justification for this type of increase. User-pay does not justify -- this is not an answer to me.
