Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First, in order to implement a plan for Nunavut, we still need the interim commissioner to select people. With regard to development of both east and west, we are developing a comprehensive human resource plan to support both Assemblies and provide training and development specific to supporting the staffing and development of a new Nunavut Legislature, to ensure that trained and experienced human resources continue to be available in a new western Legislative Assembly, and develop program initiatives that will support the development of the necessary skills and recruitment for both the Nunavut and western Legislative Assembly, and enhance personal team and organizational creativity and innovation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the area is under the Office of the Clerk, like the library, which is mentioned here on page 1-8. In the Legislative Library of the Northwest Territories, all documentation of policies, procedures, events that have taken place within this government, and things like a fuel spill somewhere in Nunavut would have been documented and would be filed in the Legislative Library. Can the Speaker tell me what this government is doing at the present time to make sure duplicate copies of all this important information for follow-up is being located and re-located from here to the capital of Nunavut? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, the Assembly has been gathering duplicate Hansards for the last year and a half and duplicating all the material that is necessary for transfer to Nunavut, including CD-ROMs.

With all this information on CD-ROMs, Hansards, directions, and policies of this government that are going to have to be transferred before April 1st, 1999, where is that stuff being held right now? Is there a big warehouse somewhere? Is it just in boxes on the floor? Is it being catalogued and does it have to be re-catalogued when it gets to the capital of Nunavut before April 1st, 1999? What is happening with that documentation today?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. All the materials that are in the libraries are catalogued. Some of them are stored here in the shelves of the library and others are stored elsewhere.

I do have a nice house in Iqaluit. Thank you very much for the compliment, but it is not big enough to sort all the documentation that we are talking about. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, is it safe to say this documentation is being assimilated here in Yellowknife and being catalogued to be transferred to Nunavut before April 1st, 1999? It might be the responsibility of the new interim commissioner to hire a librarian on behalf of the Nunavut government to make sure this stuff is re-catalogued and filed. Is that what the Speaker is telling me?

Thank you. Once the interim commissioner is in place and there is a facility to store the material, then it will be transferred.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I hope the regional librarian is still in place to help facilitate this in a couple of months. On the staffing of the new Legislative Assembly, having been a bit naive about the operations of this Assembly before I came here, I now understand more about what happens behind the scenes and the amount of logistical work, analytical work, administrative work, that is put into place to make sure that this Assembly works. Leading up to division, Mr. Hamilton, the Clerk, said that there was some training. The Speaker mentioned it. Can they update me on what is happening with the mentoring, on the job training and the hiring of staff so that they could be trained under the professionalism and the auspices of Mr. Hamilton, par excellence as his role is recognized, Mr. Chairman, all over the parliamentary system for his work. I wonder when the people will be hired and trained under Mr. Hamilton's office for

a further role on April 1st. I am trying to ask a question, if I could have the co-operation of my colleagues. Mr. Chairman, I would like to have the co-operation of my colleagues.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am trying to ask a question on the staffing of the new Legislative Assembly in Nunavut. I am wondering when the training programs and these people will be in place and maybe a little bit of information on what type of mentoring or what type of on the job training is being contemplated for these staff? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have already explained what we have in the direction that we are taking now. There is not much we can do because under the Nunavut Act, the interim commissioner is the one that recruits the people that are going to be required for this training to take over the future Assemblies. That is all I can say.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I seek consent to go back to details of capital on page 1-9, capital site paving program of Yellowknife, $500,000. A very quick question.

Yes, Mr. Chairman. My question was one of further clarification of details on the 1997/98 capital site paving program for Yellowknife, total value, $500,000.
