Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For greater clarity, could the Minister advise as to what sort of time frame he expects the OPPLAN process to take?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My experience with the OPPLAN process varies from starting in May up until September, between that period of time, where the government gets together and does an OPPLAN process to come up with a budget which the Legislative Assembly will ultimately have to approve through this process. Thank you.

Question 569-12(3): Ffmc Fish Collection Boat For Great Slave Lake Fishermen
Item 5: Oral Questions

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. Mr. Speaker, for many years the freshwater fish marketing board out of Hay River has had a boat they use to collect fish on Great Slave Lake. Also they would use this boat to re-supply the fishermen out on the lake. The boat was called the "MV Broadhead". This boat was sold, Mr. Speaker, and the fish which were previously collected by this boat were flown from the catch areas to Hay River at great cost to the fishermen. The fishermen expressed concerns, the other day, that the freshwater fish marketing corporation is now contemplating yet another boat to haul this fish. They were also concerned that this government was assisting them to make this purchase. I would like to ask the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism whether his department is involved in any agreement to purchase a fish collection boat for the fishermen of Great Slave Lake?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In order to put this matter to rest, will the Minister indicate whether he would look into this matter to see if his department is contemplating assisting the freshwater fish marketing corporation to purchase a boat?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of the NWT Housing Corporation. Under the Housing Corporation's new initiative, what was considered as the forgivable loan concept has gone with the new type of home ownership programs now in place. Individuals who have homes built for them must now pay the Housing Corporation back over a 15 year time period. Recognizing that the Housing Corporation is going to want some type of security for its cost of home building, can the Minister inform the House what sort of registerable security documentation it would require from those individuals building a home on band lands under one of the new Housing Corporation's housing programs? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Units delivered under the access programs will require the following types of lands, fee simple titled land, long-term lease land, or band land also known as Indian Affairs branch land, IAB land, or land reserved for Indian use, as long as a band council resolution is obtained allowing long-term use of the land. Long-term use meaning 15 years. Thank you.
