That is correct, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Koe.

In that regard, is it also the intent and the policy of the department to, where possible, train and develop local staff to run, maintain and enforce the rules and regulations relating to parks in the Northwest Territories?

Thank you. Mr. Minister.

Mr. Chairman, as I said earlier, we have two training positions in our budget this year. I do not have any more training positions but we try to employ local people; we try to give them some training in this aspect of maintenance of facilities. It is our intention to keep hiring and improve local expertise. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister a question regarding tourism and parks. In Lake Harbour there is a park named Katannilik Park. I wonder if there will be a manager there to operate this park. If there is going to be a manager, will he have a budget or will there be funding for maintaining this park? If they get funding, when could we expect to see this funding available for this particular park maintenance? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there are $60,000 and .5 PY in this budget for the hiring of a park manager, the operation of the park office, administration and some clean up in the Katannilik Park. That money will be available, assuming the bill goes through the House, on April 1, 1993, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Pudlat.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Where will this manager be hired from? Will he be locally hired or will you have to bring up someone to manage this park who has knowledge about parks? Is there already a person in mind who you can hire in Lake Harbour? Thank you.

Mr. Minister.

Mr. Chairman, we will not be bringing anyone up from the south. It will be a local person who is hired. I am prepared to accept someone who needs a little training because this is a new park and if we can train someone along with this new park opening we will do that. We want to hire somebody local, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Pudlat.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are aware this is just getting off the ground, so will you be training this particular person in Lake Harbour how to operate and maintain the park? When will you be able to train this local person? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you. Mr. Pollard.

Mr. Chairman, we will advertise for this particular person, we will look at the resumes of the people who apply for the position. If there are local qualified people, we will pick the best person and add on whatever training is required for them to do their job in the park. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you. Tourism and parks. Mr. Pudlat.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You indicated there was $60,000 in funding for this particular park. Will this be available during this fiscal year or during the next fiscal year? What year is this funding allocated for?

Thank you. Mr. Minister.

Mr. Chairman, the $60,000 will be available to be spent April 1, 1993, this year. Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Thank you. Mr. Zoe.

Your colleague wanted to go back to 15-12, that is tourism and parks. Tourism and parks, total O and M $7.608 million. Mr. Koe.
