(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the policy is completed and is given to the Government Leader for approval, when would that approval be?

Mr. Allooloo.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It will not be approved by the Government Leader, it would be by the Executive Council. I will be giving it to the FMB for their approval as well, possibly next month. Thank you.

Item 5, oral questions. Mr. Antoine.

Ms. Cournoyea.

Mr. Speaker, at the moment I believe the appropriate first plan of action is to try to get the meeting with the federal Minister responsible. I would like to see the actual document that was signed as well as see what was specifically agreed to between Canada and the United States. From that time on, we will try to develop a strategy on how best to approach it in terms of a higher profile in attempting to get that recognition. Thank you.

Mr. Antoine.

Supplementary, Mr. Speaker.

The government is in the dark again.

You are always in the dark.

---Laughter

Supplementary, Mr. Speaker. I understand that originally the Northwest Territories was selected as a site for cruise missile testing because our terrain is so similar to the former Soviet Union and parts of eastern Europe. This is what I understand was the argument in the beginning. Times have changed, Mr. Speaker, those nations are not our enemies any more. In fact, a lot of northern firms are doing business with many of them. I believe that preparing cruise missiles to fly over our northern environment sends a provocative message to these new international friends and tells them we are still getting ready to go to war with them.

---Applause

I think the Northwest Territories should be trying to correct that message. Will the Premier agree to communicate directly with ambassadors of those countries to tell them the Northwest Territories is opposed to, and was not even consulted about, the cruise missile testing? Thank you.

Madam Premier, I can barely see you, but I know you are there.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to see the content of that agreement. I would like to see what avenues we do have, it may be that this agreement allows for some movement. I would like to suggest to the honourable Member that I draft up a plan of action and a number of things which can be done including the suggestion which has been put forward at this time. Thank you.

Item 5, oral questions. Mr. Ningark.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Education. I would like to know if the there are children living in the home of Mr. Salomonie in Iqaluit, and attending school. Thank you.

Mr. Nerysoo. Ms. Mike.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will inquire into the concern the honourable Member has raised.
