From the information I have, the corporation is no longer providing accommodation in Fort Smith and only has one unit available in Yellowknife. As I indicated, the employees in Fort Simpson, Norman Wells and Inuvik are actively discussing with the Power Corporation their interest in purchasing those units that are available. I believe that where there is interest and where we can move without the encumbrance of having to resolve the property status, we can move very quickly to do that, Mr. Speaker.

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

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister, then, will employees who live in the units that are being discussed have any preferential treatment in trying to buy these units.

Madam Premier.

Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that they do have. Thank you.

Final supplementary, Mr. Koe.

My final supplementary, then, is the sale of these units going to be carried out similar to the previous sales done by this government?

Madam Premier.

Mr. Speaker, it's my understanding that the Power Corporation themselves would be dealing individually with their employees, and it would not be going through the maze of territorial government disposal. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister of Personnel. Mr. Speaker, job offers that are granted to employees, I believe should include hiring procedures of the Government of the Northwest Territories. Currently, they do not have that; they basically have the indication that they are a smoke-free environment and they are an affirmative action candidate. Once an employee signs up, nothing binds them to adhere to any of the procedures and policies that this government develops. So, I would like to ask the Minister of Personnel it he would review this issue to ensure that the job offers granted ensure the employees adhere to the procedures and policies this government develops. Thank you.

Thank you. Madam Premier, would you like to respond for the Minister of the Personnel Secretariat?

Mr. Speaker, what I will do is refer the question to the Minister responsible and instruct him to reply to the question that has been put forward here. I will take the question as notice. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. Mrs. Marie-Jewell, new question? Go ahead.

New question. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct a question to the Minister responsible for FMBS, which is responsible for the appeal process of the government. I don't know the process with respect to the government's involvement, but I do know that there are individuals in my riding who are from FMBS, whether they're a superintendent or another employee of FMBS, a chairperson of the appeal committee or a representatives of the union.

With all due respect to the appeal committee, they don't have an affirmative action candidate on that appeal committee involved in the process. Since this government does have an affirmative action policy, I would like to ask the Minister responsible for FMBS if he would review this review committee to ensure there is an affirmative action candidate member. Thank you.

Chairman of the Financial Management Board, Mr. Pollard.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and good afternoon. Mr. Speaker, I'll certainly review the make-up of those committees and get back to the Member. Thank you.

Item 6, oral questions. Item 7, written questions. Item 8, returns to written questions. Mr. Clerk.

Mr. Speaker, Return to Written Question 20-12(7), asked by Mrs. Marie-Jewell to the Premier concerning a summary of international travel.

I will be tabling today a summary of all international travel undertaken at GNWT expense since December 1, 1993 by:

1. Cabinet Ministers;

2. deputy ministers and assistant deputy ministers of all departments;

3. ministerial executive assistants and other Cabinet staff; which includes the following information:

1. the destination, purpose and dates of this international

travel;

2. travel and accommodation expenditures associated with

each trip; and,

3. the amount of airline travel points awarded associated

with each trip.

Return to Written Question 25-12(7), asked by Mr. Patterson to the Minister of Transportation concerning residency requirements for an NWT driver's license.

The Motor Vehicles Act provides no special definition of the term "resident." For purposes of the act, a resident is viewed as someone who has established a permanent residency in the Northwest Territories.
