Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With respect to the recommendation passed in the House, I haven't had a chance to speak to my officials specifically with respect to that issue. However, I will advise the Member that within a week, I will have someone identified from the department to enter into negotiations with the Tl'oondih operators. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned in my Member's statement, I will be raising some questions to the Honourable Charles Dent, who is Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation. I believe the Minister has heard of my concerns about neglect of the powerhouse in Resolute Bay. (Translation ends) The
power house in Resolute Bay has been unattended since last Sunday. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the power plant is not unattended. I repeat that. It isn't unattended. In fact, a casual employee of the corporation is in charge of the plant. This employee has successfully passed the appropriate operator training courses and is considered to be a very capable and responsible employee. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister explain why both employees of the Power Corporation in Resolute Bay have apparently been allowed to leave town at the same time? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I said, we still have an employee of the Power Corporation on site. He is a casual employee, but he is in Resolute and is in charge of the operation of the plant. So far, there have been no incidents or concerns raised to indicate that there may be a problem with the plant. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the plant superintendent and the lineman are both on leave. Being on leave, it isn't up to the corporation to know what they do with themselves when they are on leave. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am not certain that there has been any problem in Resolute. I have directed regional staff to look into the Member's allegations about the door being left open and tools being at risk. I have so far been assured that that isn't the case. It is a situation where we do have an employee of the corporation in the community who is in charge of the power plant. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Public Works and Services. Back on May 2nd, the Minister indicated he would provide some information on the restructuring of Public Works and Services. Could the Minister indicate the status of that information? I am particularly interested in further changes to the regional and area structure in Fort Smith in light of all the other cuts and rollbacks that have already taken place. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the deputy minister of Public Works and Services is presently in Iqaluit and is travelling to all the other regions in the next few days to meet and consult with all the regional offices. Through a conference call this morning, we discussed the report the Member is asking about. I will be, within the next week or so, providing the appropriate committee with a copy of that report.
