Thank you. Supplementary, Mr. Pudlat.

(Translation) Thank you for the response from Health and Social Services. There was another question. I think I asked a two-part question. Some of them have to go to school in the communities. I know some parents have not been able to access these monies. I know one person who has a disabled child who has to go to school and has to be transported to the school. Are there any funds available for bussing in the communities so that these students can go to school? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Ms. Cournoyea.

Mr. Speaker, I don't know the full extent of the case of that specific individual. If the Member would like to discuss that particular individual with me, I will see what can be done. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. Mr. Whitford.

Minister of Safety and Public Services, Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just to indicate to the honourable Member, there are presently no specific regulations concerning commercial diving. However, commercial establishments are subject to the Safety Act and regulations, and must have accident prevention plans, provide adequate protective clothing and things of that particular nature.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Whitford.

Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just to indicate to the honourable Member, and for the information of other Members of the Assembly, we have been working with the committee that's called the Canadian Association of Administrators of Labour Legislation Occupational Safety and Health for the last few years. We have been trying to compile common elements of three major diving regulations. It was intended that the task could have been completed in 1994, however, the work has stalled. It was our intention that we could have legislation developed by this upcoming summer.

Thank you. Supplementary, Mr. Whitford.

Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As has been my tradition in this Assembly, Mr. Speaker, without any question, once we get to a point that we can bring forward appropriate regulations, I'll certainly ensure that the public is consulted on the nature of the regulations and seek their advice. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. Ms. Mike.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Finance. In his Budget Address on February 20th,

he informed this House that this government was successful in obtaining some federal funding for construction of social housing. However, he did not indicate how much. I would like to know how many of those dollars did our government obtain from the federal government. Thank you.

Minister of Finance, Mr. Pollard.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Through the efforts of Mr. Morin who talked with Mr. Dingwall, I believe the number is approximately $9 million, Mr. Speaker. As far as the tags that are on that $9 million, what it can be used for and so on, I don't believe Mr. Morin has everything worked out yet; but that's the number that he has been working on. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. Mr. Patterson.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. In light of the importance of parks and tourism projects in the Northwest Territories, and in light of the fact that recently many projects have been funded jointly with the federal government -- I cite the Katannilik Park and the Pond Inlet Nature Centre as two examples -- I would like to ask the Minister if he is tracking and aware of organizational and financial changes in Parks Canada's operations in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

Minister of Economic Development and Tourism, Mr. Todd.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we're tracking Park's expenditures in the Northwest Territories, as we are with EDA and any other economic departments that affect the work that we do. So we are aware of the fact that there may be some significant cuts, based upon the new budget, to operations like federal Parks, such as the EDA, CAEDS, et cetera. So we are watching very, very closely, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
