Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister is saying he is also concerned about this matter. I believe a lot of other people are. I would like to ask the Minister if he is willing to do an in-depth review of this to see exactly what the implications are on affirmative action of employees versus non-affirmative action employees to see if there is a discretion there to see if we can have a chance to look at it in this House.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are concerned about lay-offs and how they were handled. We are going to look at it. We have looked at it already and we do have those numbers. I just don't have them at my fingertips right now, but I would be pleased to get the Member those numbers.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister responsible for Renewable Resources. Can the Minister tell the Members of this House if there are any restrictions on the sale of wild meat in the NWT?

Mr. Speaker, there are some restrictions and controls placed on the sale of wild meat. It is set out in the Wildlife Act. It allows for the sale and barter of wild meat by aboriginal harvesters. It is reflected in some of the claims agreements. It also sets out the conditions that must be followed should a person wish to sell wild meat for the purpose of creating income. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are commercial quotas set for people who obtain tags for the purpose of selling wild meat. Other than that, there are no restrictions on the sale of wild meat by people who possess commercial tags. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Is it possible for the department, in cooperation with Economic Development and Tourism and possibly Health and Social Services, to work on a joint project that would see the development of a more cost-effective way of processing and doing meat inspections; especially in the smaller communities where trying to do these harvests would be an expense? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, this department, along with the Department of Economic Development and Tourism, is interested in finding ways that would allow for the commercial sale of wild meat in the Territories that would also be acceptable for export and sale to commercial outlets in the South.
It is also a problem here in the Northwest Territories that many commercial outlets and institutions are hesitant to buy and serve wild meat obtained under commercial tags for the purpose of including it on their menus because of the possible liability that would be created since they aren't inspected and approved by federal inspectors. Thank you.

Jake Ootes Yellowknife Centre
Mr. Speaker, earlier, a question was asked about the business incentive policy and a reference was made to a question that I asked yesterday. The Minister of Transportation referred to it as a hypothetical question. Perhaps I could ask the Minister a question on that. To me, the question wasn't hypothetical. I didn't use names because I like to be discreet to ensure that the names I do have --and I do have names --are absolutely correct. I wonder if the Minister could tell me if he has found out any more information. I did pass on the names to the Minister. I wonder if he can tell us if he has found out any more information on this.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at this point in time, the department is still looking into that question. They are unable to get the answers, so I have to get back to the honourable Member as soon as I receive any information about what has been going on with these contracts. Thank you.
