Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the Minister indicate how he will be doing this? Will he be sending somebody down to do an investigation or will it be dealt with by the people and staff in Fort Smith that work in that department? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have not decided on how the issue will be handled by the department at this stage. I want to see the incident report first, to review it personally, to see if there are additional requirements to pursue it further. I have not spoken to my staff on this matter yet. I have been waiting for the reports to start the process. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It seems to me, although I am not perfectly sure, there was more than one incident involved. Would the Minister commit to making this a priority issue so nothing further does occur, that this should not happen and the well-being of the children is paramount? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I certainly recognize the seriousness of the situation, because of the fact they are wards of the government in those residential treatment centres. I have asked for the report. It is in the process of being drafted now. I do not know exactly where it stands, but I will make the review of the situation a high priority issue. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister for that commitment. Would the Minister also share that information with me, or as much as he can without giving me specific client information, so I may reassure the constituents in Fort Smith that are concerned as to how the matter is being handled and what kind of remedies are being contemplated? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will share as much information to the Member or any Members that are interested within the guidelines I am allowed, considering we have children in care here, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Question 444-13(4): Concerns With Affirmative Action Policy
Item 6: Oral Questions

Floyd Roland Inuvik
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be directed to the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation. I addressed this earlier on, in my position as the representative of Inuvik for this Assembly, about the concerns of the Affirmative Action Policy when it comes to the Power Corporation. There is some discussion within the community as to whether or not there is an actual Affirmative Action Policy. Can the Minister inform us if there is a policy or do they follow the government's existing policy? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The public service staffing appeals regulations made pursuant to the Public Service Act and administered by the GNWT, does include the Power Corporation. The Power Corporation is required to give preference when hiring to indigenous aboriginals, indigenous non-aboriginals, resident disabled individuals, and resident women in non-traditional occupations. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The concern comes out of a possible situation where casuals are hired and the position is continually renewed under a casual basis. When the Minister is getting this information, can he address the issue of casuals and how long a casual can stay in a position before it is deemed to be a full-time position? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will certainly be prepared to provide the Member with that information. One of the things I should mention, the Power Corporation does have a total of 45.6 percent of its employee force who qualify under the Affirmative Action Policy. I think the Corporation has done a good job, in comparison to other agencies in this government, at achieving a representative level in the work-force. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
