Why is this safety inspector position required in the Keewatin?

Mr. Chairman, the safety inspections for the Keewatin region were being performed out of Yellowknife on a time-available basis. The construction activity, population increases and need for safety inspections in the Keewatin have risen significantly and we feel that a position of this nature is required now in that region. I might point out that we also have been asked in this House about why it takes so long to get electrical inspections done, et cetera. We get the same kind of questions about safety and we feel there is enough work now in the Keewatin for a safety officer, and that would cut down on the amount of time it takes right now to deliver the service from Yellowknife, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are safety officers in every region with the exception of the Kitikmeot, which is being assigned. What is not in existence, is that the safety officer positions have not been filled, despite our attempts to fill those positions.

Can someone differentiate between a safety inspector position and...Let me word that differently. Is an electrical inspector considered a safety inspector, or are they different?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. They are two different positions. One deals with the electrical capacity or components of safety issues, including issuing permits and doing the assessment of the electrical work that has been done. The safety officer deals with occupational health and safety issues related to projects or generally in terms of community working conditions.

I'll get down to my concern, then. Is the safety inspector officer position in the Inuvik region filled?

Mr. Chairman, the request that is being made does not deal with the Inuvik situation, however, I will deal with Mr. Koe's situation. We have attempted twice already to fill the position of safety officer in Inuvik. We have not been successful. What we're now doing is combining...Actually, with Rankin, as well. What we are now doing is combining the recruitment for positions in Inuvik and Rankin, and we're running an advertisement for both positions. So if we have suitable candidates, we'll fill both positions at the same time.
