I understand that Aurora College is utilizing Northern United Place now, but that is a program of the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, not the Housing Corporation. I wonder if the Deputy Premier would undertake to let us know what the difference in cost is to accommodate the YWCA in the present accommodation versus what it was when they were in the Northern United Place building? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I can certainly find out that information. What is important to remember is that the YWCA now has full access to an apartment building in Yellowknife, the Rockhill Apartments for $1 per year and they are in fact allowed to keep any revenues they raise in rents. I will get the information, but from what I have seen, I think we have been as fair as possible to all those involved.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the Minister, Mr. Arlooktoo, tell me if the availability of amount of accommodation is similar or larger at the Rockhill Apartments?

Question 633-13(4): Changes To Hunting Regulations
Item 6: Oral Questions

Seamus Henry Yellowknife South

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to Mr. Kakfwi, the Minister for Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. I have some questions for the Minister related to the status of hunting regulations and the current Wildlife Act. As the Minister is aware, last spring I had a request of clarification on changes to the hunting regulations on behalf of several individuals and groups, such as the Canadian Armed Forces.

Last July, Mr. Speaker, the Minister advised me that the Canadian Forces northern area, their request would be considered and they would have equal opportunity into the public consultation. Both myself and the Member for Frame Lake and Yellowknife Centre also wrote to the Minister in support of the Canadian Armed Forces' request. Neither myself nor the commander of the Canadian Armed Forces have been updated on this outstanding issue. My question is, could the Minister advise the House what public consultations have taken place in my community relating to changes in hunting regulations and the Wildlife Act? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 634-13(4): Role As Minister For Nunavut Transition Planning
Item 6: Oral Questions

October 7th, 1997

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Premier announced last week that he was appointing separate Ministers responsible for transition planning in Nunavut and the Western Territory. I also understand that from the Premier's statement that Mr. Todd as the chairman of division and planning committee that includes both Cabinet and Ordinary Members to retain overall responsibility for the division. My question is for the Minister responsible for Nunavut transition planning, Mr. Arlooktoo. What responsibility does he have in this new role? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That is a good question. It is one that we have been trying to work with or struggle with in the last little while. But as Mr. Todd had talked about earlier, there are many, many issues and areas of concern, initiatives around the whole, around division, and there are difficult decisions that have to be made. There are very tight deadlines, and a very full plate of work that has to be done.

So I believe the Cabinet and the Premier recognize that it was important to make sure that the workload was spread evenly.

Therefore, they appointed me to take care of those types of operational and day to day issues for Nunavut and Mr. Dent for the Western Arctic under the able leadership of Mr. Todd. Just as a side, we are putting as much information together as possible about all of those issues and will be presenting them to the House next week.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe the question was on what types of issues that I would be talking about next week. There are many that we need to discuss and need to get the Assembly and the Public informed on and involved in. It includes things like what we are doing on community infrastructure, the work that needs to be done on assisting the federal government on the Nunavut Act amendments, training, staffing key headquarters positions, et cetera. There are a wide range of issues that we will be discussing.
