Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, did the honourable Minister say he was taking that question as notice? If the GNWT has actually a regulation or law in place guiding the regulation for rent increases?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, I guess we have kind of got to the point now where we do have this regulation in place except we are not sure what it really says, so my supplementary question is, who enforces the regulations concerning the increase in rental rates? Do we have a rental officer, for example?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, over the past several weeks, as Mr. Todd has mentioned earlier in his statement also, there have been several very drastic rent increases in my riding with regards to housing. The reason for my questions, of course, are to find out exactly what are in place so my constituents in my constituency will know. I am not trying to be flippant in my questions.

So, my final supplementary, if the Minister will allow me, is, is the rental officer that is based here in Yellowknife, does he or she do investigations all over the Northwest Territories, so that, the constituents in my riding would be able to contact said person, said position, put in complaints about these rental increases which the Minister has already told us there is regulations in place? So that is my question, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the rental officer has jurisdiction for the entire Northwest Territories, but, like I said earlier, I will find out the correct information and advise the honourable member accordingly.

Thank you.

Question 443-13(3): Breast Cancer Detection Information
Item 6: Oral Questions

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minster of Health. Yesterday I spoke about the need for a program to be developed to detect breast cancer here in the Northwest Territories. In a three year period, between 1991 and 1994, some eighty people were detected of which, thirty three people died.

I wonder if the Minister could tell me if the territorial government will consider developing information that is culturally appropriate on breast cancer in the aboriginal languages for distribution throughout the Northwest Territories?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department recently approved the terms of reference for a N.W.T. working group on breast cancer screening and the main mandate of this working group is to provide recommendations to the Department and to regional health boards regarding breast screening measures, Mr. Speaker. Also I would like to advise the honourable member that throughout the health centres, that are under the auspices of Well Women Health Clinics, that people from the community are given instructions on self-examinations as the preliminary sources of identifying potential problems so there is some work being done in this area and we are looking to expand this program, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to hear that the Minister states that he will look at expanding this program. I wonder if he will also consider including in that program an educational program to teach the nurses and the people in the communities the methodologies of detecting breast cancer.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would take it that the working group on breast cancer screening would identify those issues, if they are not already identified and within our existing system, so I will certainly keep it in mind when I look forward to receipt of this report, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister has pointed out that there is a working group in existence on this. I wonder if the Minister could tell me what the mandate of the working group is, in respect to, who they answer to and what work they are undertaking?
