Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Normally we do not publish who replied to RFPs. We do, however, publish the winner and the cost of the contract. There have been cases, though in the past requests of companies that at the request of MLAs where we will make certain information available as to how and why a certain company won a contract or on the flip side why a certain company lost an RFP.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My final question, are there mechanisms in place to monitor the RFP process and awarding of those RFPs? What mechanisms are in place?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would say the varies from contract to contract, but the evaluation process of RFPs are very technical in nature. We have experts and technical staff from different departments that evaluate these proposals and assign percentage points depending on how well their proposal goes towards the completion of a certain project that we have.

Question 697-13(4): Changes To The Wildlife Act
Item 6: Oral Questions
Page 1627
Seamus Henry Yellowknife South
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to Mr. Kakfwi, Minister responsible for Wildlife and Economic Development. The Minister released today Wildlife Business Regulations and the package that will change those regulations. As the Minister is aware, I have brought several concerns on the Wildlife Act to his attention in the past. My question to the Minister is, could he advise me what, if any of these changes, affect the current hunting regulations for individuals?

Mr. Speaker, the issue that the Member raised about providing for changes to the privilege of hunting in the Northwest Territories to certain members of our community has been raised and it would require changes to the Wildlife Act. It is my information that the legislation, and the changes required to legislation are not anywhere near the priority list of this government. We do not expect with the backlog that we have that we will be doing any of those changes that we had hoped for earlier in our term to the Wildlife Act. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Maybe the Minister did not understand my question. What I wanted to know was the current Wildlife Business Regulations that he has signed off on, are there any changes in those regulations that effect individual hunters?

Mr. Speaker, I believe I had responded to the question earlier this week, specifically, the consultation which had taken place in regard to the amendments that I have announced today. What I do know is that extensive consultation had been undertaken by the department with aboriginal groups, members of the general
public, people involved in hunting and other stakeholders who have an interest in the amendments we have announced today. The specifics are not the type of details that I retained. If the Member requires more detail than what I have just given him, then he can ask for them, and I will provide it to him. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is addressed to the Minister of FMBS, who is also responsible for the digital network contract with Ardicom. Mr. Speaker, my question is based on the meeting, Tuesday of this week, which I think was a good first step and overdue as indicated. It is a good first step at bringing the stakeholders and service providers together to start ironing out some of these outstanding concerns. Would the Minister be prepared to initiate another face-to-face meeting this time with the local Internet providers, the Government of the Northwest Territories, Ardicom and NorthwesTel representatives to see if they can further hammer out these technical questions and hopefully, some sort of common ground, so this thing could move ahead in a cooperative, productive fashion?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would be only to happy to try to coordinate all the parties involved in this important initiative that was set forward by this government earlier last year. I do understand there was some communication problem with respect to the last conference call because of some weak up-links in the conference call system. I will take it upon myself to give my department some direction as to bring forward all the parties to a meeting to see if we can reach the appropriate compromise to move forward on this important initiative and try to, where possible, answer the serious concerns and issues that the local Internet suppliers have. Thank you.
