Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister how often the department undertakes reviews of the fire alarm systems for adequacy and effectiveness to identify upgrading requirements as a result of community growth? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Arngna'naaq.

Madam Speaker, I don't know if it is the department's responsibility to make sure that the equipment is inspected every year. I believe that is the Department of Safety and Public Services. From what I understand, it is the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs' responsibility to maintain. But, for the inspections...(Microphone turned off)...how well the equipment is operating is the Department of Safety and Public Services. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you. Supplementary, Mr. Ng.

I would like to ask the Minister then, if there are problems identified in fire alarm systems in communities, would it be his department's responsibility to rectify those problems? Thank you.

Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Arngna'naaq

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I believe it is my department's responsibility. If there is a particular case the Member is alluding to, I would most certainly like to find out and would thank you for raising any problems they may be having. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 5, oral questions. The honourable Member for Aivilik, Mr. Arvaluk.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have to apologize, I cannot stand up straight right now. My question is directed to the Minister of Education. In the last session, the Minister assured me that he would investigate on the difference between Chesterfield Inlet education council and the Keewatin Divisional Board of Education on the occupancy percentage of the Victor Sammurtok School. Has he done that yet, Madam Speaker?

Thank you. Minister of Education, Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. We have raised the issue. However, I have not received the analysis yet of the differences. Thank you.

Thank you. Supplementary, Mr. Arvaluk.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. When does he expect to receive the analysis?

Thank you. Minister of Education, Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I will get on the matter immediately and see if I can report back to the honourable Member about the matter he raises.

Thank you. Item 5, oral questions. The honourable Member for Aivilik, Mr. Arvaluk.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health. The hamlet of Coral Harbour wrote a letter to the Minister about three weeks ago, regarding the attitude and incompetence of the nursing staff in Coral Harbour. Has he received and responded to that letter? Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you. Minister of Health, Mr. Pollard.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, when complaints come in with regard to Health, they are ultimately the responsibility of the boards. That complaint has been passed on to the health board and we will monitor the situation and watch their answers. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 5, oral questions. The honourable Member for Deh Cho, Mr. Gargan.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Social Services. Madam Speaker, in February of 1991, the federal Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs put a budget of $36 million together to go to native communities for family violence initiatives. It has been four years now since the money has been into operation, has the government submitted a budget for part of the $36 million?

Thank you. Minister of Social Services, Ms. Mike.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. I will take that as notice and will inform the Member as soon as I get the information. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you. Item 5, oral questions. The honourable Member for Aivilik, Mr. Arvaluk.
