Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have an oral question for the Minister of Justice. The question that I had posed on Thursday, I would like to repeat. Mr. Speaker, I want to indicate that it is not my intention to refer to the substance of any matter before the board. The question refers to the process.

Mr. Speaker, on September 9, the Minister assured the House that the board of inquiry was an independent procedure, and it is not something steered by the government, or the Minister of the department. I have been advised that certain documents have recently been served upon individuals by legal counsel for the Department of Justice.

I would like to ask the Minister, can the Minister advise the House who directed legal counsel to serve these documents? I am aware that Dr. Covert, the President of the board of inquiry, is presently unavailable on holidays up until today, and he has apparently been scheduled back to the territories, today, to address this board of inquiry. Thank you.

Mr. Kakfwi.

Question has been taken as notice. Oral questions. New question Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

That was two questions to the Minister, and we have dealt with one of them. Mr. Patterson.

Mr. Speaker, the Cabinet has agreed to proceed with a public inquiry into the Public Inquiries Act, and I will be making a more detailed statement to, perhaps, answer the Member's further questions tomorrow in the House. Thank you.

Item 5, oral questions. Item 6, written questions. Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is a written question to the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. Would the Minister responsible for the N.W.T. Power Corporation table, in this House, the policy of moving power poles, including hook-up, that accommodates private homeowners. Mr. Speaker, exactly how many power poles were moved throughout the N.W.T. to accommodate homeowners would the Minister break this down into regions, and further into communities. Would the Minister provide the following detailed information for power poles that were moved: did the N.W.T. Power Corporation assume the costs associated to moving power poles, and the hooking up of private homeowners; further, did the Power Corporation assume the costs associated to add special anti-vibration systems to homes; and would the Minister indicate if the N.W.T. Power Corporation assumed the responsibility for all costs associated with moving power poles?

Now, Mr. Speaker, if I could ask the honourable Member if she could provide the information before Thursday. Thank you.

Written questions, Mr. Koe.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a written question to the Minister of Social Services. I am aware that the Department sponsors employees, and some contract employees, for professional development and training. Will the Minister provide the following information:

a)What courses have staff, and contract employees, taken in the fiscal years 1989-90, 1990-91, and 1991-92;

b)Where were these courses held;

c)Who attended the courses which were held outside of the Northwest Territories; and

d)What were the total costs of sponsoring these employees to take these courses in the N.W.T., and outside the N.W.T.?

Thank you.
