Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not have the specific information available to me at this time. I will take the question as notice and get back to the Member. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today, I spoke about the difficulties those laidoff individuals from this government are having. My question will be for the Premier as the Minister responsible for the Executive. Could the Premier tell us if there is one document which is available to the

personnel officers that would cover all the benefit options available to laidoff employees?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is going to be addressed to the Premier in regard to the hockey selection process in the South Slave. As I indicated in my Member's statement, unfortunately, this is the third time I have brought this issue up in the House. The Minister has made every reasonable attempt to, in fact, get information, but I do not believe the organizations that are involved have given her the information she needs to clearly reply to the families and hockey players involved. I wrote another letter to the Minister this morning. I would like to ask the Premier if he could commit to ensuring that the organizations provide the proper information, so the Minister can respond, hopefully, to these families and hockey players and this matter can finally be put to rest. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Premier for that commitment. The issue is not so much that I require information. It is the families and hockey players in the South Slave, who have been affected by this particular process, who require information and answers. I am asking, could the Premier and Minister encourage the organizations involved to actually take the time to talk to these people? They have received, so far, just one fax. There has been no other formal contact that I am aware of and it seems very unfortunate that organizations do not take the time to solve these problems. Instead, it is left to forums such as this. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Justice, Goo Arlooktoo. It is in relation to the camps for adult offenders. Mr. Speaker, I believe it was last year and the year before, there were funds allocated to the communities of Aklavik and Fort Resolution for such a camp which were approved by this government. It was recognized in the budget, but yet, it was cancelled by to the previous Minister. I see the same alternative is being put forth again. In light of this initiative, where money has already been spent in the planning and proposal stage from the community of Aklavik to the Knut Lang camp, I would ask the Minister of Justice, will he consider relooking at that proposal of this new initiative, in which, I believe, work has already been done? Can the Minister tell me if he will consider reinstating that proposal?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the whole area of cost saving to this government, this probably will be a cost-saving initiative where a lot of inmates and young offenders are sent to southern facilities, because we do not have any facilities

in the Inuvik region for such an event. There has been $50,000 spent with regard to the whole proposal to date. There has been a proposal drafted which it was approved by the Department of Justice at one time. I would like to ask the Minister again, in light of the consideration of looking at saving money for this government, would he consider relooking at this proposal with the possibility of a new method of dealing with inmates, keeping them at home, because of the cultural aspect he made reference to in his statement? It is important to keep the people as close to home as possible. Will the Minister consider relooking at this and if it is a question of cost, can he sit down with the different parties to try to resolve that?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In light of the overcrowding and amount of hours guards and inmates, we are seeing a real increase in the number of inmates. I think that is one alternative this government can look at, in savings, due to increases we are seeing in the budget regarding overtime for the guards. This is one way that you stimulate the economy of the Beaufort Delta. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister if he can seriously consider looking at this proposal and considering there will be savings in the long-run and considering the increased costs to this government in regard to the number of inmates we have in our facilities now, would he take that into consideration and put a serious effort to look at this proposal?
