Mr. Ng.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that particular program is currently under review and the funding that we provide for that program at the current time, because of the fact that in response to the question last week I believe, I indicated that both Aurora and Nunavut Arctic College do provide alcohol and drug worker training programs right now, so there is perceived to be a duplication of providing that program, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Final supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Mr. Ng.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would make a concerted effort with my honourable colleague, the Minister of Education, Culture, and Employment, to make sure that the second year program would be accessible to those students that are completing their first year of study so that they could receive their certificates or diplomas, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Mr. Erasmus.

The Minister of Transportation, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the point that the honourable Member is making, I am not aware of the practice. When I received my drivers' licence, they took two pictures and they put one on the card and they gave me back the other, so I do not know what the real practice is there. I will check on it and I will get back to the Member. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Mrs. Groenewegen.

The Minister of Justice, Mr. Ng.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I did have an opportunity to check on the issue after the honourable Member brought it up earlier. As I indicated, the licence for allowing the cutting of firewood is the responsibility of Renewable Resources, Wildlife, and Economic Development. Our staff have actually set up a meeting to discuss this issue with the RWED officials, tomorrow I believe, and try to resolve this situation to allow for a lower rate for seniors. Mr. Speaker, thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Mr. Picco.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am just a little confused over the past couple of days with the response just now from the Premier and the earlier questioning. Mr. Steen asked about the privatization again and the Premier sent that to another Minister. So my question to the Premier is, what is going on here? If we want to privatize airports, I do not ask the Transport Minister, I ask Mr. Kakfwi,

because he is the privatization Minister. If we want to privatize a health centre, I do not ask the Health Minister, I have to ask Mr. Kakfwi. Can the Minister explain this to me, what is going on here is that the Members, myself, Mr. Steen, we know who to ask questions to?

Mr. Premier.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As far as the privatization and any privatization questions on POL, refer your questions to Mr. Kakfwi. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Mr. Picco.

Mr. Speaker, do I take it from that maybe there was a problem with one of the committees, specifically the Infrastructure Committee, that it did not seem conducive to that committee about the privatization of POL so now the responsibility has gone to another Minister so that other committee might be more conducive to this initiative. Is that what I am hearing?

Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member is seeing boogey men again.

-- Laughter

But, let me assure you, I am sorry, Mr. Speaker, I did call you Mr. Chairman, I do apologize for that, Mr. Speaker. Let me assure the Member the reason privatization is under Mr. Kakfwi now is because he is the Minister responsible for Economic Development. Privatization is creating business opportunities in the north and that is the reason. There is nobody hiding in the closet or sneaking around. Let me assure him of that. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Picco.
