Question 518-12(3): Participation Of NWT Athletes At North American Aboriginal Summer Games

Thank you. Mr. Speaker, my question will be directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs.
Every two years, summer games are held in various locations across North America. I believe they are called north American aboriginal summer games. This year, these games are being held in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Members are aware that this year has also been declared the year of indigenous people, worldwide. It is important, this year in particular, to participate in sports and cultural events for aboriginal people. Mr. Speaker, I understand the Yukon territory is sending approximately 125 athletes to participate in these games in Prince Albert. Can the Minister assure the House that athletes of the Northwest Territories will be given the opportunity to participate in this international sporting event?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Currently, my department is working with Sport North to see if we can take part in these games. Mr. Speaker, as you know, the government has devolved some of its responsibilities over to Sport North with regard to sporting events such as Arctic winter games, Canada games and summer games. I will keep the House informed. If the House is not sitting, I will write to all Members of this House to inform them of the participation of Northwest Territories athletes in these games. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the Minister indicated he will keep us informed about our participation at this sporting event. I know there are young athletes, particularly in my area, who are very interested in participating in the aboriginal summer games. I am told these athletes are very good. I would expect they can represent the territories well, particularly in their age category. I am sure there are other groups across the territories that are also interested in competing at these games. Do we have any plans in place as to how we are going to put our NWT delegation together? Do we have any plans in existence now, since the department is aware of this event?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, these events which are taking place in Canada and Northwest Territories are normally administered by Sport North. I will get back to the Member tomorrow to see if NWT athletes will be involved in these games. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I appreciate what the Minister is saying, but the Minister has to recognize this event is approaching upon us very rapidly. I am not sure if Sport North or the government will have time to put a delegation together from the territories. Will these athletes have to compete at community, regional and territorial levels, similar to try-outs for Arctic winter games? I do not believe there is going to be sufficient time to do all of this. I wonder if Sport North or the department has looked at this whole issue as to how we are going to participate in the aboriginal games in Saskatchewan. It is strictly for aboriginal participation. The NWT has a high aboriginal content, so I hope the Minister would send a delegation to participate in these games.

Question 519-12(3): Status Of Family Law Review
Item 5: Oral Questions

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Justice, following up from my colleague from Yellowknife Centre. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, December 9, 1991, I requested in this House the status of the family law review. That was taken as notice. On Tuesday, February 25, 1992, I again requested the status of the family law review. I was told it would be dealt with by the end of the fiscal year, and that I would be receiving information on it. Again, it was taken as notice. Wednesday, March 4, 1992, I again asked for the status of the family law review. Again, I was told that it was taken as notice and it would be towards the end of the year. On Friday, March 27, I asked for the status of the report for 1992, how it was coming along because it was getting near to the end of the fiscal year, and again this question was taken as notice. On Thursday, April 2, 1992, it was indicated that the family law review was in its final stages before the report was submitted and there was no further information granted. On Thursday, September 17, 1992 the status of the family law review was requested again, and the question was taken as notice, we did not get any further ahead. Mr. Speaker, on Thursday, September 17, 1992, with the regard to the family law review, my colleague, Mr. Arngna'naaq, asked the Minister of Justice a question regarding the family law review. The Minister of Justice indicated the report would be tabled. I would like to ask the Minister, does he have the family law review report ready to be tabled in this House? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, since I have asked six times in this House and six times the question has been taken as notice, and because I have finally been told the report is coming, when does the Minister intend to table the family review report? Thank you.
