Madam Speaker, when I said earlier that we are considering contracting for services, I was speaking specifically about the move we should make in the next year to building community-based correctional facilities that we think should be owned, but definitely staffed and managed by communities. So there would be no government employees staffing such a facility.
Aside from that, at this time, there is no serious consideration given to privatizing the territorial facilities that we have presently. Thank you.

Since the Minister did talk about owning facilities, is it expected that any proponent to provide this service locally will have to come up with the capital funds to build that facility?

Madam Speaker, the thinking at this time is we think there are suitable conditions and environments in which to begin discussions with a community in a region that requires a community-based correctional facility. It would be built using territorial government capital money. We would also be interested in looking at groups providing the capital and perhaps leasing to us on a long-term basis. Thank you.

I would like the Minister to confirm then that the government will consider giving capital funds to a private organization that is in the business of doing business.

Madam Speaker, I am not certain what the Member is suggesting. We can do what we practice presently. When we need a facility, we either build it ourselves or else we enter into a long-term lease with someone who has the capital and is willing to build it to our specifications. Those are the two options that we have at this time. Thank you.

Question 228-12(6): Extra Revenues Generated By High Water Levels
Item 6: Oral Questions
Page 465
Michael Ballantyne Yellowknife North
Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation. Madam Speaker, it seems that there was a large unanticipated surplus generated by the Snare power system because of high water levels from the time the GNWT took over the Power Corporation to the time of low-water levels in 1994. That surplus, I understand, is about $7 million and was used to keep down power costs throughout the territories. My question to the Minister is, did the Power Corporation inform the Minister
that the Snare system had generated an extra $7 million because of high water levels which were spent throughout the whole territories, at the same time they informed the Minister that they were going to try to recover the full $4.8 million in this year caused by low levels? They were going to try to recover that from the Snare system alone.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. As we did in St. Albert, when they had a monument put up there for the patients who were buried there, the Government of the Northwest Territories or the Department of Health will be making a contribution to this new monument the Member is referring to. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am sure that contribution will be appreciated, Madam Speaker. But I would like to ask the Minister of Health, since the amount of $5,000, announced by the Minister, is considerably less than the one-third share of $16,500 the city of Hamilton is expecting from the GNWT, would the Minister be willing to use her good offices to encourage other organizations, including corporations to help make up the shortfall, so this monument can go ahead. Thank you.
