I wonder if the Minister could tell us if he is aware that this sort of thing occurred previously.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, just being a Minister for the last few months, I am unaware if this sort of thing happened. I haven't seen any information from the department indicating that these things have happened in the past. Thank you.

I wonder if the Minister could look into this and perhaps look into the whole aspect of contracts under his department to ensure that no advantage is taken. After all, our effort has been to employ northern people. That is one of the reasons why the BIP was introduced. I wonder if the Minister could give me assurance that he will look into this for us.

Question 357-13(3): GNWT Financial Assistance To Victims' Of Crime Services
Item 6: Oral Questions

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health. The Canadian Mental Health Association currently operates the Yellowknife Victims of Crime service program, which provides various services to the community, from court assistance to operating a crisis phone line and victims' assistance and counselling.
As of May 31, 1996, this organization will be receiving no further financial funding from the federal government. It has, in the past, received funding from the territorial government. Will the GNWT, through his ministry, still be providing financial assistance to this organization? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is under the Department of Justice, through the victims' services programs. The department provided $39,000 to the Canadian Mental Health Association for operating their victims' assistance program in the last fiscal year. For this current fiscal year, there is no reduction to that amount. They will be receiving the same amount of funding from us. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister's effort to continue funding. Over the summer, I would ask that the Minister look, through his department, with a view to try to earmark some funds that may be placed in other programs that could be redirected to this organization for the services which they provide. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We would encourage the association to look at putting in applications through the victims' assistance fund, to possibly secure
some additional funding to assist them in providing their services for victims. Thank you.

Question 358-13(3): Recognition Of Commercial Hunting Treaty Rights
Item 6: Oral Questions

Roy Erasmus Yellowknife North
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A few minutes ago, the Minister of Renewable Resources indicated that aboriginal people were allowed to trade and barter under the act. I know a few years ago, there was a Supreme Court case which indicated that treaty people had a right to commercial hunt and, likely, a right to commercial fish as well. I would like to know if this was put into our act in order to comply with the court case or did this government already recognize those treaty rights to commercial hunting prior to that court case. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I am not aware of the current legislation, the Wildlife Act, and whether it has been changed to reflect the recent court decisions with regard to the aboriginal people's right to hunt, trap and fish. I will have to take the question as notice. Thank you.

Thank you. Question period is over. Before we go to the next item, there was a question asked by Mr. Ootes that was interpreted by the Minister as being hypothetical. If there is a hypothetical question, it wouldn't be asked. So I didn't interpret Mr. Ootes's question as being hypothetical, but the Minister did interpret it as such. I just wanted to make that clear.
Item 7, written questions. Mr. Ootes.
