Question 237-13(6): Gymnasium In Pelly Bay
Item 6: Oral Questions

John Ningark Natilikmiot

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am not sure which Minister I should direct my question to, it is regarding my statement in which I indicated Mr. Dent. It has something to do with the gymnasium plan that would be attached to the school in Pelly Bay, it also talks about the community hall in Pelly Bay, that implies the Department of MACA. I believe Public Works and Services is included in this regard. Mr. Speaker, since I implied the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment and the communication was the lead Minister that the community of Pelly Bay wanted to communicate with, my question will be directed to my next-door neighbour, Mr. Dent. Mr. Speaker, will the Minister direct his senior staff to communicate with the Hamlet of Pelly Bay regarding the plan to build either a gymnasium or a community hall? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am not sure if the representative of the Hamlet of Pelly Bay has plans to come to Yellowknife and meet, but perhaps the Minister could indicate to me in the House that he would ensure that his senior staff travel to Pelly Bay and meet with the hamlet council. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member mentioned that MACA would be involved in this and, in fact, MACA had offered to contribute some funds towards a larger gym in that community. What I will endeavour to do is coordinate a visit by representatives of both Minister Thompson's department and my department at the same time, to the community so that this issue can be discussed with the hamlet. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Oral questions. Mr. Evaloarjuk.

Mark Evaloarjuk Amittuq

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier on I mentioned through my Member's statement that I would pose a question to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. I know that the Minister is aware of the gymnasium being too small for the Hamlet of Igloolik and their requirements. When does the Minister have plans to make an expansion on the current gymnasium, that will be my first question. When do you plan on renovating a larger gymnasium at that time? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends)

The Speaker

The Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Ms. Thompson.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member for Amittuq informed me of the requirement for an expansion of the gymnasium in his community. At this time, I do not have the plans in front of me, however, they are in my office and I will take notice and give him further information as to when the expansion is planned for. I know that this was discussed in detail by my senior colleagues in my office and that is my response to that question to the Member. I apologize that I do not have the information in front of me, but I will defer it to him as soon as I can. Thank you. (Translation ends)

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Perhaps supplementary to my question regarding Nunavut, as we are making plans for division, we have to make annual plans as well for capital items. Now my question is, once when we have Nunavut government, will these same plans that are in place already still be implemented in the new Nunavut government? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Oral questions. Mr. Ootes.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for Mr. Todd in relationship to the employment contracts with employees. Yesterday Mr. Todd said in his statement that each contracting authority is responsible to know the rules set out by the guidelines, what he meant was the policy, and to abide by them. My question is, when an issue like that arises by a department or a contracting authority issuing a contract, how do they know that the former employee would be exempted from the human resource policy?

The Minister of Finance, Mr. Todd.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said yesterday in an effort to clarify and obviously I confused some others, to clarify the position of the government, the contracting departments, I mean there are hundreds and hundreds of contracts out there. No one person polices that. The contracting departments understand what the rules, if you want, the policies and procedures are as it relates to

contracting the former employees. If an employee comes forward that the department feels may be or is in conflict, if you want, of the guidelines, then they would seek clarity from my department or that employee or former employee would seek a waiver from my department. Thank you.
