Thank you. Supplementary, Member for Baffin Central.

Supplementary Mr. Speaker, I understand that on October 30, 1990 Mr. Pollard was in the House when the honourable Member for Iqaluit made the following statement "I am convinced that the in shore fishery in the waters of Iqaluit and other Baffin communities, Pangnirtung already has a good turbot fishery under way, offers good potential for appropriate jobs for unemployed Inuit in my constituency. I am also confident that test fishery will produce results. I am certain that there are great renewable marine resources in our waters, scallops, shrimps, char, turbot and cod".

Can the Minister indicate how much his decision to target Iqaluit as a site for exploratory fishing was influenced by Mr. Patterson's enthusiasm over Frobisher Bay fishery and potential jobs for his unemployed constituents.

Thank you. Mr. Pollard.

Mr. Speaker, number one I did not select the areas that vessel would fish, or that those vessels would fish, that was done locally in Iqaluit by the E.D.A. board. Secondly, Mr. Patterson at no time has approached me and tried to influence me with regards to the location that exploration should be done in the Baffin. Thank you Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, oral questions. Supplementary, Member for Baffin Central.

Mr. Speaker, corrections please, I hope that I did not give an impression that he influenced you. My question was, at the time when Mr. Patterson made that statement, how much influence did he have in getting this test fishery going in Iqaluit?

Thank you. Mr. Pollard.

Mr. Speaker, as I said, I do not select the areas that they are going to fish, and with all respect to Mr. Patterson, I was not influenced at all by what he said. It is not something that I get involved in as to where that vessel would fish, and I have no influence in that regard. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. Final supplementary Member for Baffin Central.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Final supplementary for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. Would the Minister table a detail plan for future test fishing activities including a summary of consultation used in identifying target sights for exploratory fishing?

Thank you. Mr. Pollard.

Mr. Speaker, I will endeavour to get that information and table it in the House. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions, Mr. Todd.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Health. The honourable Members will recall this House dealt this session with a bill to amend the Medical Care Act. As amended, the act now allows the Department of Health to make arrangements with physicians for payment on other than a fee for service bases. Fortunately, the Standing Committee on Legislation insisted the provisions should be included in the Medical Care Act, which would require the Department of Health to obtain approval from the effected health or hospital boards for finalizing any agreements with the doctors. Can the Minister of Health tell this House whether or not the Director of Medical Insurance has entered into any agreements under the Medical Care Act to pay physicians on other than a fee for service basis.

Thank you. Mr. Patterson.

Mr. Speaker, no I can not tell the House. I would have to take the question as notice, and get back as soon as I can. Thank you.

Thank you. The question has been taken as notice. Oral questions. Mr. Ningark?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, on behalf of the people of Gjoa Haven. The people of Gjoa Haven are getting extremely anxious to know if the proposed hockey arena is going to be completed without having to have new activities between phase one and phase two. I would like to get assurance, and comfort, from the Minister if the project will be completed without having to have new activities between phase one and phase two. Are we going to be able to see the arena completed within this fiscal year? Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Allooloo.

Yes, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. Oral questions. Mr. Nerysoo.

Mr. Nerysoo, we do not get really which Minister you are asking. Would you repeat that please?

Sorry, Mr. Speaker. I did not want to make things more difficult for you, but the Minister of Social Services.
