Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Renewable Resources. When responsibility for forest and fire suppression was transferred to this government there was a possibility that the federal government would consider supplementary funding. The funding would be for annual fire suppression and would only be considered if significant costs arose from the federal initiative or unforseen events created new responsibilities which were beyond the powers of the Government of the Northwest Territories to control. Since assuming the Renewable Resources portfolio, have any significant costs arising from the federal initiative been paid by the federal government?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Initially, when the transfer took place we had a three year agreement, if there were significant costs to fight fires during one particular season, the federal government would come up with the balance. Since that time, the agreement has expired and if there are significant costs to fight or manage fires now it would have to come from our government. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Since this agreement for fire management has expired, is the Minister suggesting that we have a new agreement for forest fire management and that we have to cover any added costs now as opposed to the federal government.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As you know our government negotiates with the federal government for our formula funding. Fire suppression and fire pre-suppression is now part of the formula. Thank you.

Does this mean we are on a fixed income and if we accumulate additional costs we have to cover those ourselves?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If we expand beyond the budget, which my department allocates for fire suppression, yes. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A few days ago I asked the Minister of Health a question about whether or not her department had a person specialized in smoking information for school children. The Minister took the question as notice. I wonder how long it would take to find this information out and when she will have an answer. I have a number of question I would like to ask related to this subject.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your question was whether or not the department had a PY looking after the issue of smoking. It has nothing to do with Education. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the question which I asked, and I do not have a copy of Hansard in front of me, it was simply that does the department have a person who looks after smoking education for school children, not a PY, just someone who goes into the schools from time to time. They used to have someone. I do not know if it is such a difficult question. Perhaps I should have put it in writing. Do they have a person who does this work?

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. The aboriginal people would like to develop some businesses in the communities. There are many aboriginal people who have tried to apply for businesses. I would like to know if there is training available for people who might not understand how to start a business. Is there any training available for these people? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Each of the people who come and seek assistance from us require different levels of assistance. We are able to assist some through our economic development officers, we are able to suggest to some where they can obtain that information, and we would refer others to the Department of Education, and to perhaps look at enroling in a program with Arctic College. Some people just need to improve some of the skills they have already. Each case is different, Mr. Speaker. We should be able to direct those people, when they come to us in the communities, to the correct department or agency which could assist them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
