Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister had indicated that since approximately 1996 there have been only five board members on the Development Corporation. Could the minister indicate since that time, since the last time there was a minimum of seven board members, how many times has he sent out a letter to the MLAs asking them for suggestions for board members? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I would consult with everyone that is involved with discussions of that issue and ask them to go back to their notes and again share that with the Member. If he is interested in knowing the details of it we shall provide it to him. Thank you.

whatever form that he would like, but it will be in written form. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board, Mr. Miltenberger. I am following up on my Member's statement today and questions I asked earlier in the House. Simple question, Mr. Speaker, to the Minister responsible for the Board, as the Workers' Compensation Act of the NWT presently stands today can the Workers' Compensation Board sue employees or employers? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The Speaker Samuel Gargan

The Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board, Mr. Miltenberger. I believe the question was asked and answered already.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am not sure whether the question was the same, but in this particular case, the Member is asking a very specific question with legal implications both to this legislation and recent changes to legislation so, in order to give a correct answer, I reluctantly will take the question as notice and I will give the Member a very clear response. Thank you.

Question 127-13(7): Hay River And West Channel Electoral Boundaries
Item 6: Oral Questions

April 25th, 1999

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier. Mr. Speaker, I received a petition from the West Point First Nation. This is a group of families within the town of Hay River and they live in the west channel on land set aside for Indian use under the Indian Act. The chief and band currently participate in leadership meetings with the Deh Cho. However, geographically and logistically the West Point First Nation is a part of Hay River and a part of my present riding. Mr. Speaker, my question is, what is the process and indeed is it possible that the electoral boundaries can be modified in such a way as to move a section or a pocket of people, electors, out of one riding and transplant into another? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The Speaker Samuel Gargan

The Premier, Mr. Antoine.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Legislative Assembly here, this House, has the ultimate authority in deciding where the electoral boundaries and what the arrangements for the electoral boundaries are.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ideally, the Electoral Boundaries Commission would take the request and make recommendations to us here. We have gone through a process such as that in the last few months. We are still going through a process as a result of that in this Legislative Assembly. Bill 15, which amends the executive council Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act which would have gone to second reading, and it has gone to the Standing Committee on Government Operations that Ordinary Members sit on. I think this would be the appropriate place at this point in time and the debate to raise this issue. I would assume that. I think based on that, if that is thrown into the debate that is going on, it should be considered at that time. Once a decision is made through the standing committee, it will come back to this House, and then we would debate it during the House. Thank you.

It is in regard to a motion that was passed in this House by myself, seconded by Mrs. Groenewegen, to support Ms. Roberta Vaneltsi to obtain her children.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that motion was just passed in this House last week, the latter part of last week. The normal process is that it goes to us and the Executive. The staff within the Executive will take the motion and will formulate some strategies on how to pursue it. At this point in time, this is where it is at. Thank you.
