Thank you. Minister of Personnel, Ms. Mike.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. We do have expression of interest from the staff at this point in time, and after this round, depending how many staff will be purchasing and if there are enough staff houses left, then, yes, there will be another round of sales. Thank you.

Thank you. Final supplementary, Mr. Ng.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Final supplementary. The Minister is aware of some of the specific problems in the Kitikmeot region as a result of delays of staff occupying units which they wish to purchase. She has already committed to looking at those on an individual basis, I guess, and I would like to ask her if she is still committed to rectifying that situation of these seven individuals as quickly as possible, I guess, and working on an arrangement that would be suitable to them in purchasing government staff housing units?

Thank you. Minister of Personnel, Ms. Mike.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Like I said in the past, after we get the expression of interest from the staff in purchasing the unit that they are occupying, I would be

willing to meet with individual MLAs if they do have a concern, work with them and take it from there. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 5, oral questions. The honourable Member for Yellowknife Frame Lake, Mr. Dent.

Thank you. Madam Premier.

Madam Speaker, the dividend or the amount is determined by what the government has determined as the cost of the subsidy, so it does recover. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 5, oral questions. The honourable Member for Baffin South, Mr. Pudlat.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is directed to John Todd, the Minister. I realize he responded to a question concerning a safe haven for Lake Harbour. I know he responded properly, Madam Speaker, but I would like clarification, if possible. He indicated that there would be a survey done. Was that to be in consultation first with the Lake Harbour hamlet council, and, if so, when will this occur? Is it for this spring or in the summer? Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Minister of Economic Development and Tourism, Mr. Todd.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. The first part of the question would be that we would consult with the municipality on the priorities they see for transportation capital spending. On the second part as to when this will take place, I am not in a position today to know exactly when that is, but I will get back to the Member. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 5, oral questions. The honourable Member for Yellowknife North, Mr. Ballantyne.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs. I know that the Minister has received correspondence from the chiefs from Ndilo and Dettah concerning the extension of their boundaries. My question to the Minister is, is the Minister prepared to convene a meeting of the Yellowknives Band and other interested parties, including the city of Yellowknife, to try to resolve this situation in a positive way?

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

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I received a letter from the chiefs around the end of February. I responded in writing to the chiefs earlier this month and indicated that I have asked the deputy minister to convene a meeting between the Yellowknives Dene Band, the city of Yellowknife, the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs and the Department of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs, and to expect a call from Mr. Menard in the near future. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you. Item 5, oral questions. The honourable Member for Iqaluit, Mr. Patterson.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I'm interested in the Fort Smith leadership school even though it's far from my riding, because there was consideration given at the time that school was set up to the possibility of establishing a parallel school in Nunavut. I think that is even a more topical issue, with Nunavut coming in 1999. I would like to ask the Minister of Education something I meant to ask when his budget was presented and that is, has there been a review done of the Fort Smith leadership school, now that it has been in operation for several years? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister of Education, Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Yes, but the matter is before Cabinet for consideration.

Thank you. Supplementary, Mr. Patterson.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, once Cabinet has considered the matter, is the Minister of Education open to the idea of sharing the results of the review with Members of this Assembly? Thank you.
