Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Krutko on February 11, 1998, termination of NWT ski coach.

The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs provided $10,000 during 1997-98 for this position. The NWT ski division also obtained funding from Human Resources Canada to support his paid coaching position and expand its programs into 12 communities through a training and employment program for community coaches.

On February 5th, the NWT ski coach received a termination letter from NWT ski division effective immediately. Staff from the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs met with both parties and reviewed the events that led to the termination.

I am advised that the termination provision of the employment contract was followed. The NWT ski division has acted within its authority in terminating this contract and is accountable to its membership for this decision. Thank you.
