Item 5: Oral Questions

Samuel Gargan Deh Cho
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, 12 days before Christmas there was a motion passed by Mr. Lewis with regard to a request for a small school to be built in the community of Kakisa. Mr. Speaker, the Government Leader has already made a commitment in the community capital plan process, and one of the requirements is for communities to make motions on their priorities. One of the priorities is for a small school for the settlement of Kakisa, and the settlement passed a motion to request a small school. I would like to ask the Minister of Education if he would tell me what the progress is on that.

Question O674-12(2): Cabinet Consideration Of Nunavut Political Accord
Item 5: Oral Questions

Charles Dent Yellowknife Frame Lake
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs. Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that the negotiators for the GNWT, the federal government and TFN have reached agreement on a political accord pursuant to Article 4 of the Nunavut final claim. As I understand it, this accord has yet to receive the approval of this cabinet. Could the Minister tell the House when this political accord is expected to go to cabinet for consideration?

Mr. Speaker, I think that as soon as this session is over, we can start to make some plans about taking care of some business like the accord and have a realistic plan as to when we can bring It to the attention of cabinet I am unable to give you an exact time and date, but I think it would be in July.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A supplementary to the same Minister. This accord, as I understand it, provides for the establishment of a Nunavut implementation commission which will oversee the transition process for the establishment of Nunavut. As I understand it, the GNWT will also be appointing representatives to this commission. My question, Mr. Speaker, is this government going to be negotiating with the Government of Canada to ensure they recover the costs for the staff and administration that will be working on this commission?

Mr. Speaker, wherever we think we have some basis to recover costs or to have the federal government cover costs of initiatives, we do that. It is also understood, politically, that in areas where we have responsibility and where we take initiatives, that we have to accept some of the costs ourselves. As to the exact nature of who is going to pay for what in this process, I am not able at this time to give you details. Thank you.

Question O675-12(2): Status Of Ice Crossing Between Hay River And Reserve
Item 5: Oral Questions
June 25th, 1992

Samuel Gargan Deh Cho
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Transportation. There is an ice crossing between Hay River and the Hay River Reserve beside the bridge that is used by the RCMP, ambulance, Housing Corporation, and the public. Everybody seems to agree that the crossing provides immediate access to the Reserve and it is merited, but they seem to be dumping all the responsibility of maintaining the road on the Hay River Reserve. I would like to ask the Minister whether the ice crossing between Hay River and the Reserve is considered a public access road.

Question O676-12(2): Progress Re Airline Travel Points Strategy

Charles Dent Yellowknife Frame Lake
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Premier. Mr. Speaker, on December 12, 1991, the Premier responded to a question I had asked indicating that her government would be investigating some method of accruing travel points for airline tickets for use by the government. I wonder If the Premier could report on any progress in this field.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to inform the honourable Member that we have put that into our whole financial planning, and I have given that responsibility to the Minister of Finance to incorporate how we can best achieve the goals of utilizing travel points that were obtained through government travel for the benefit of NWT residents. I will defer further questions on that to the Minister of Finance.
