Thank you, Madam Speaker. Could we get just a touch more information about the functional review? Is it actually reviewing all levels of the department from the deputy minister down to the line level?

Question 185-12(5): Review Of Social Assistance For Part-time Workers
Item 5: Oral Questions

February 22nd, 1994

John Ningark Natilikmiot

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my question is to the Premier in the absence of the Social Services' Minister. Community economic well-being is fundamentally important to me and to the people who elected me. That was one of the reasons why I think they put me here. Madam Speaker, we penalize people who really need the assistance of the government who are living off the welfare system. We penalize those who are able to find jobs by not allowing them to earn a bit of money on the side. Every time recipients earn money, they are penalized the next assistance pay day when they are deducted. I would like to ask the honourable Minister if the Cabinet will review the matter and get back to the House.

The Speaker

Thank you. Madam Premier.

Madam Speaker, the honourable Rebecca Mike is not in the House today because she will be spending a couple of days at the conference with Pauktuutit in Iqaluit. I will review the matter. Just to note, on the issue of income reform, we hope that once we have been able to bring that forward we will address some of those major concerns, because I think that I fully agree with the Member that, often times, the difference between going to work and staying at home and living off welfare doesn't give people much incentive to be productive citizens. I hope the paper will come a long way in trying to address that. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Again, Madam Speaker, in 1993, the Association of Municipalities asked the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs to encourage amendments to the Motor Vehicles Act to allow owners of vehicles to be held liable for contravention of parking by-laws. On June 22 of last year, Madam Speaker, the Minister of Transportation responded, noting an oversight in one section of the act and agreeing that the section should be amended. My question for the Minister of Transportation is when is he anticipating bringing these amendments to the House? Thank you.

The Speaker

Thank you. Minister of Transportation, Mr. Todd.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Again, my question will be directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. In 1993, Madam Speaker, once again, the Association of Municipalities requested the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs prepare an amendment to the Property Assessment and Taxation Act to allow that land owned by municipalities and occupied by the municipal employees to be recorded on the assessment roll in the name of the municipal corporation. On August 18, 1993, Madam Speaker, the Minister at the time stated that, once certain items were clarified, he would have the department prepare and would be prepared to recommend a legislative proposal for Cabinet consideration. I would like to ask the current Minister, Madam Speaker, whether his department has completed the proposed amendment? Thank you.

The Speaker

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

I believe the previous Minister had indicated that a legislative proposal would be forthcoming. However, there were a number of questions that the department had before completing the legislative proposal, and as far as I know, those clarifications have not been made. The department is still waiting for a response before preparing a legislative proposal.
