Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My officials are still reviewing the situation, and they have formed a committee within Government Services and D.P.W. to work with NorthwesTel. I will give the Member a further update next week. Thank you.

Question O738-12(2): Accuracy On Forecast For Expo '92
Item 6: Oral Questions

Charles Dent Yellowknife Frame Lake
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism concerning the shortfall in Seville, otherwise known as Expo '92. Mr. Speaker, on March 11, 1991, the former Minister of Economic Development and Tourism tabled the preliminary business plan for the N.W.T. facility in the Canadian pavilion at Expo '92. This plan forecasts sales of over $5.4 million, including $3 million of this for the sale of food and beverages. In rough calculations this would have translated to sales of approximately $16,000 per day at the restaurant. Mr. Speaker, would the Minister please inform this House how accurate his department was in forecasting the levels of food and beverages to be sold at our facility in Seville? In fact, have we even reached 50 percent of our original projections?

No, we have not, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the average, prior to and just after the Olympic games, was running around $7,000 or $8,000 a day. I can tell the Member that last week we averaged some $12,400 a day. Yesterday's and the previous day's total were a little bit above that average, so business has picked up, but we have not obtained those targets. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary to the same Minister, again, Mr. Speaker, the department's original projections forecasts arts and crafts sales of $2.4 million, or approximately $13,000 a day. Would the Minister please advise the House how accurate his department was in forecasting the level of sales for arts and crafts at our facility in Seville?

Question O739-12(2): Fine For Oil Spill In Mackenzie River
Item 6: Oral Questions

Jim Antoine Nahendeh
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. (Translation) I would like to say this in Slavey. Yesterday N.T.C.L.'s barge, there was an oil spill and yesterday I mentioned something about that. I would like to direct my question to the Renewable Resources Minister. The amount of oil that was spilled in the Mackenzie River, and I believe, this is probably not going to be the only time we are going to have an oil spill. The amount of things that are happening in Alberta with pulp mills etc., all the stuff gets into the river here. Because of this oil spill in Fort Providence, is there going to be a fine to whoever caused this oil spill? Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. (Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am not sure if he heard me well. The water is very important to us here. If there are future oil spills, whoever caused the oil spill, is there going to be a fine given to them? Is this going to be straightened out in court in the future?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. All of the oil spills that take place, depending on where they land: rivers; lands; Commissioner's land; crown land; there are responsible agencies which have legislation that charges the polluters. Depending on the outcome of this investigation of the Canadian Transportation Safety Board, there could very well be charges laid. Thank you.

Mahsi. (Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To my understanding, if there are companies that pollute the environment here, my understanding is that there is supposed to be a fine given to these people. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, companies that are polluting are responsible to clean whatever pollution they have caused. If there are any spills of pollutants, the company is responsible to clean up the spill, and as well they could be taken to court by responsible agencies. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are a lot of questions that I still want to ask. The reason I am raising these questions is because of this oil spill. Is there strong legislation to handle things such as this nature? Thank you.
