Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Has the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation, do they have programs that are available to communities that they could try? You mentioned joint venture earlier in one of the other communities, is this available to all communities across the north? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in Sachs Harbour the Sachs Harbour Community Corporation would be one of the joint venture partners and the Power Corporation is definitely interested in hearing from other community corporations across the Northwest Territories, who would be interested in joint venture initiatives. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs. The Minister congratulated two communities today on a name change, and I would also do the same. My question to the Minister is could she describe the process used by a community to determine how to change a name. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't have the details on the process, but it is started by the community. As I understand it, the change for Kugluktuk happened in January. I was just announcing it today, because the hamlet building had not been changed. The process takes quite a long time, it is initiated by the community. Thank you.

Question 518-13(3): Improving The Quality Of Northwestel Service
Item 6: Oral Questions

Roy Erasmus Yellowknife North
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Premier. You all heard in this House, I think it was last week, Mrs. Groenewegen made a statement, in relation to Northwestel and their atrocious service, in regards to people being put on hold for a long, long period of time. I have had several complaints as well, from people having to wait for about ten, fifteen, sometimes even twenty minutes. My question is, is there anything this government can do to influence Northwestel to improve their service?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As a major customer of Northwestel, I will have the Minister responsible get in touch with Northwestel to let them know about our dissatisfaction with the service to our Northwest Territories residents. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would the Premier consider opening up the monopoly that they currently have, so that perhaps we can have a bit of competition, and perhaps this could improve their services?

Edward Picco Iqaluit
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Minister Dent announced some excellent programs to benefit and enhance the training of northerners. However, other than a course in Kugluktuk, the vast majority of announcements were focusing on the western diamond play, and mining training for the western area. What programs or training will be offered for the Nunavut settlement area?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the programs that are being developed are entirely portable. The programs are generally delivered in different communities, and as the need arises, these programs can be offered in any community in the Northwest Territories. What we have done so far, Mr. Speaker, is to target our jobs training to those areas where we see the best opportunities to get the jobs in the future.
At this point in time, in the Nunavut region, much of our emphasis has been on training plans to ensure that we have an adequate workforce to staff the government of Nunavut, on April 1st, 1999. As the members will be aware, earlier this session, I made a statement talking about training plans, and specifically training plans in the Nunavut region. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
