(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Regarding the hamlets, villages, cities, and towns, we do not impose upon them as to how much they should pay their employees. They are local governments within their communities. However, if the Member would like me to review his community municipal government, I can find out how much is being paid for secretaries, carpenters, and sewage and water truck deliveries. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the Minister for the response. In reviewing the duration of employment, as well as the salary being paid, can he also include the duration of the employee during his review? Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I can look into the duration of employment for
each individual, and just to add, some of the hamlet employees belong to a union, while some do not. The union and municipal governments hold negotiations to determine the pay levels. These agreements become legal agreements, which we do not have authority over. Thank you.

(Translation) I am wondering is the Minister saying that if the municipalities and the employees who are part of the union, the Department of Community and Municipal Affairs has very little power to try and control the system within the municipalities, is that what the Minister is telling me? Thank you.

Question O814-12(2): Amendments To Vital Statistics Act
Item 5: Oral Questions

Silas Arngna'naaq Kivallivik
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Justice. On February 21, 1992, I asked the former Minister of Justice a question about the fact that there are a number of people in the Northwest Territories who, because of delays in the custom adoption process, have been unable to obtain birth certificates. The former Minister stated that he would bring forward amendments to the Vital Statistics Act, as quickly as possible, to allow birth certificates to be granted, even before the formal processing of a custom adoption is finalized. I noticed that there is no sign of any such amendments on the horizon. Can the current Minister of Justice indicate whether this delay is caused by the problems that his department has had, in completing the family law review project, which is supposed to be dealing with, among other things, the custom adoption process? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe that would come under the Vital Statistics Section of Safety and Public Services. I did not get all of the question, Mr. Speaker, but I would like to hear the question again, or take it as notice, and deal with the Member to get the specifics of it.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. This again, I believe will be directed to the Minister of Justice. My question is, while I understand that there was a family law review, which I asked about in my former question. I am wondering at what stage is the family law review at? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the Family Law Review is very close to being complete. I understand, in response to the Member's questions, that there are recommendations that are contained within this document that when implemented will simplify this whole process, sort of right in hand with custom adoption.
There is a whole bureaucratic process that is very frustrating for communities, for Members, and for the different government departments. It is just about complete. In a matter of days, it will be handed to me.

From the review, I assume that there will be a report. I would like to know if the Minister will table the report when it has been completed? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
