Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for Safety and Public Services. It has to do with his department, under fire safety in the safety division itself, having 33 positions spread throughout the Northwest Territories with the exception of the Kitikmeot region. There are no positions whatsoever in the region to perform fire and safety inspections relating to existing buildings, new construction projects or work places. I would like to ask the Minister, at this time, what plans are in place, if any, to address this issue? Thank you.
Question 251-12(5): Fire And Safety Inspections In Kitikmeot Region

Thank you, Madam Speaker. In terms of the plans that are being proposed, from my initial meetings with the department staff, I have advised them to prepare a proposal that would be submitted to the Cabinet for consideration with regard to responding to the additional requirements in order for us to provide services in every region in the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. We have not completed the plans yet. As I indicated, I had initial meetings with the department staff, and advised them that they should prepare the appropriate documentation for me to take to Cabinet. I have not received the documentation, to date, on that particular issue, except to suggest that I have advised them to do that.

Thank you. I'm hoping to receive those documents before the end of March because we're dealing with a number of other matters as part of that overall proposal. We're dealing with the issue of mine safety officers and safety officers, generally. So, it's an overall package that we're looking at.
