In the meantime, is the Minister suggesting that we continue to eat the caribou?

Mr. Chairman, I was going to ask a different Minister a question. However, with the answer received by my colleague for Deh Cho, since we know there is cadmium in caribou, is the department considering to undertake a study to determine if the caribou are safe to eat, in conjunction with her colleague, the Minister of Renewable Resources, so that it can be determined for sure that caribou is safe to eat?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Health and Welfare Canada is the one who should be doing the studies to see if the caribou meat is safe to eat or not.

Mr. Speaker, I am not too worried about what Health and Welfare Canada has to say with regard to this issue. I am asking our government, our Department of Health, are they going to undertake a study similar to the one the Yukon government is undertaking so that we can be sure that caribou meat is safe to eat in the Northwest Territories?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Department of Renewable Resources has been collecting the samples in collaboration with the Department of Health. It then goes to Health and Welfare Canada. We only have five years of this sampling. It is not conclusive to say whether it is safe or not so, the studies will continue. Yes, thank you.

Jim Antoine Nahendeh
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Government Leader regarding the proposed budget planning and approval cycle. When I was first elected last year I received some documents called multi-year budget cycle and four way system of government, and proposed budget planning and approval cycles. My concern is with the capital planning process. Last year we undertook a process where, as MLAs, we had input or comments on capital plans. I am wondering if that same process is going to be followed this year? Thank you.

Thank you. If that is the case, I have many concerns with regard to how the process went last year. Before this process starts again for community and MLA input, I was hoping we would be given a chance to have some input into the way the process went through last year. I am wondering if there will be an opportunity for us to make comments on the way the capital planning process was done last year, so that we can improve it. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know we received quite a number of very favourable responses, particularly from the communities. If there are some difficulties with it, I will discuss this matter with the Minister of Finance and would be prepared to meet with MLAs individually to discuss the process. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said earlier, on March 9, the Minister of Health and her staff gave a briefing to Members of this House regarding HIV and AIDS in the Northwest Territories. We were provided with some statistics dealing with this illness. The end results and the transmission of it were frightening, Mr. Speaker. Coincidentally, on February 11, the federal government through Mr. Benoit Bouchard, Minister of Health, announced significant increases to the national AIDS strategy program. Has the Minister's staff been in consultation with their federal counterparts regarding this increased emphasis on the national AIDS strategy?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The staff are aware of the federal government money for the AIDS program. The federal government have stated they plan to put more money into the AIDS program. There is not enough detail yet as to how the money will be divided between jurisdictions. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am aware that the department is aware of it. I asked the question of whether they had been in consultation prior to the announcement as to how the strategy is going to be undertaken, Mr. Speaker. They use words such as partnership. To me, a partnership means consultation. Was the department consulted about our programs in relation to this national AIDS strategy?
