Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister inform me if there are special qualifications or, if you qualify as a senior in age and have your own home, that you would be able to fit into this program for getting assistance? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I do not have the criteria in front of me. One of the qualifications is, in fact, age. Also, the state of repairs needed to the house and what other resources they have, whether they actually need the support or not.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the Minister inform me if seniors who own their own homes and are on a pension would be qualified for getting this assistance for doing repairs to their home? Thank you.

Question 228-13(4): Icebreaker Service To Pelly Bay
Item 6: Oral Questions
February 4th, 1997

John Ningark Natilikmiot
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transportation. Two days ago, I asked the Minister about the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker service being reduced in the affected area. At that time, I was going to have a supplementary to that question, but we ran out of time, so I did not have the chance to further ask the Minister about the service.
Mr. Speaker, Pelly Bay, as you all know, is dependent solely on the icebreaker service, the Canadian Coast Guard and this government has made a substantial saving by using the icebreaker service to Pelly Bay, when they bring in the building materials, petroleum products, and other essentials for the community. The community has not had any substantial saving, but that is another point.
Mr. Speaker, because Pelly Bay is so dependent upon the icebreaker to bring in the yearly supply for that community, will the Minister assure this House, and the people of Pelly Bay, that service to Pelly Bay, provided by the icebreaker, will not be cut off in the next few years? Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in reply to the honourable Member in regards to icebreaker service to the municipality of Pelly Bay, the information that I have is that the Pelly Bay relief icebreakers will not be affected, as far as I am concerned, at this point in time. Further, that the Department of Transportation is trying to get an extension to the federal commitment to the Pelly Bay marine resupply for a number of years. Thank you.

Question 229-13(4): Catholic Schools "bridges" Programs
Item 6: Oral Questions

Seamus Henry Yellowknife South
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday, in the House, I made a statement on a new program developed by the Yellowknife Catholic schools, entitled "Bridges", which was a program designed to help young people assume a role in the workforce from school participation. My question is to the Minister of Education. Has he had an opportunity to look at this program, as of today? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Yellowknife Public Denominational Education Council, the Separate School Board here in Yellowknife, did deliver a proposal for a program to the assistant deputy minister for Culture and Careers in January of this year. I have since had a chance to have a look at it. The department, I think, is intrigued by the program. It looks like a positive approach and I understand there will be a meeting in the next few days between department officials and the Catholic school board, to discuss whether there are ways that funding could be located. The department is particularly interested in looking for areas of funding outside the department, at this point in time.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Minister for that. I was wondering when the Minister has had an opportunity to take a look at that program, if he will ensure that other educational districts in the Territories will have an opportunity to review it? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have read the proposal myself and do find it to be worthy of consideration. As the Member will know, the department has some problems right now of finding adequate funding to deliver all of the services with which we are tasked. It is not easy to say that just because it looks like a good program, we are able to fund it. We are hoping to work with the Denominational Education Council and see if there is a way to resource the program and we will certainly see if the Education Council is willing to share that proposal with other education councils across the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
