David Krutko Mackenzie Delta
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I have a written question for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. This is in regards to the purchase of and ownership of land. When can I receive the date as to the progress of purchased land by home owners in my constituency? Is the process to purchase land going to be fair, and not an issue of how your Department can receive a full cost recovery of expenditures for delivering the service of your Department? Will the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs assure me that her Department will be fair in giving reimbursements towards the purchase of land that home owners have already paid into through the high price of leasing?

Return To Written Question 8-13(3): Core Funding For Community Based Healing Programs
Item 8: Returns To Written Questions

Clerk Of The House Mr. David Hamilton
Mr. Speaker, Return to written question 8-13(3) asked by Mr. Krutko to the Minister of Health and Social Services, concerning core funding for community based healing programs.
The position of the Department of Health and Social Services on community based healing programs is that people in the communities are in the best position to determine the priorities for their healing and wellness programs. This Government intends to move away from providing core funding to community based programs and move towards a system where each community receives its wellness funding in a block funding arrangement. This will allow communities to determine which programs they wish to support.
The Department is aware that the Tl'oondih Healing Camp will be closed for the next few months.
In 1996/97, the Department of Health and Social Services has committed to provide the program with $300,000 in funding. The Department has also committed to pay the Healing Camp a per diem for referrals made under the Extended Health Benefits program.
Over the past 10 years, the Department has made the following funding available to healing facilities that deal with addictions:
Northern Addictions Services in Yellowknife:$ 12,272,557
Delta House in Inuvik $ 4,695,124
Nats' ejee K'eh on Hay River Reserve (over 4 years)$ 4,080,529
Inuusiqsuirvik in Iqaluit (over past 4 years)$ 3,324,922

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In 1977 after a week long hunting in the Mackenzie Valley from Fort Providence to Fort Good Hope, my six year old daughter then went on to visit her cousins in southwestern Ontario for a summer reunion. For the first time she met the many cousins she had in that part of the country....

Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give Notice that on Monday, October 21, 1996 I will move the following Motion. Now therefore I move, seconded by the Honourable Member for Yellowknife North, that this Legislative Assembly expresses its support for peoples and communities to have control over their own affairs, and further the transfer of responsibility occur to a community only when that community has clearly demonstrated the desire to take over greater responsibilities and further that the Executive Council ensure that the time frames identified for a community to assume greater control are realistic and furthermore that the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs ensure that communities are provided with support and training necessary to enable them to take on additional governance responsibilities.
