Mr. Chairman, as I have said before, the first one is an EDO training position in Coppermine, the second one has just been selected, I do not have the full details on it as of yet, but it probably would be in Cambridge Bay. This one is not signed, sealed and delivered. The first one is. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, in terms of training and the developing of aboriginal staff, does the department have a current plan?

Mr. Chairman, there is a priority given to the department to hire northerners. At present we are looking at our job classifications to see if they are overstated, so that it makes it difficult for northerners to get into those particular jobs. This should be completed this year, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, my colleague was questioning the Minister with the same line of questioning I was going to pursue. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will wait until we move to the business development activity. However, Mr. Chairman, I think we can feel the economy. It is getting very cold in here.

The Chair Tony Whitford
There is a bit of a chill in the air all right. The business of the House is heating up, however, the air is cooling down. I wonder if the Sergeant-at-Arms can look into this. I am informed, Mr. Ningark, that the issue is being addressed. Are there any general comments? We will move on to line by line. Total O and M, $678,000. Agreed?

Mr. Chairman, I have a question with regard to tourism and parks. Is there a coordinated effort between this department and the federal government with regard to the diseased bison herd in Wood Buffalo National Park? Has this been discussed? Is this only a federal initiative?

Mr. Chairman, in as much as I am the Minister responsible for parks in the Northwest Territories, when it comes down to the animals within those parks or the federal parks, and a large topic such as the bison problem, this is handled by the Minister of Renewable Resources.

Mr. Chairman, I have one other question. I am not sure if this is the appropriate time to bring this up, however, what is the situation with regard to the Toronto operation?

Mr. Chairman, this comes under the development corporation. We have had pretty good sales through Christmas. We are about 50 per cent of forecasts. The Toronto airport has informed us that sales will probably drop off in the next couple of months because it will be a slower traffic season. We can expect to see them pick up again. Because we have not had as many sales as we had anticipated, we have cutback on the amount of money we have been spending there. It is still within, or perhaps a little bit below, the subsidy level that we had allowed for. Things are still going fairly well. We hope they will improve. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
