Mr. Speaker, if there was notification, it would have gone over to FMBS. To my knowledge, there has not been any notification received. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Handley. Supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister check to see if that has been dealt with? Can he also check with the Financial Administration Act to ensure that all departments are following the act?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Financial Management Board Secretariat, Mr. Handley.

Mr. Speaker, yes, I can check to see. We will also send a reminder out to all departments that under that section, they do have to make the reports the Member refers to. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Handley. Supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I know it is short notice, but can the Minister try to get something back to the House on any projects that have been moved in this capital year before the adjournment of this House?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Financial Management Board Secretariat, Mr. Handley.

Mr. Speaker, I am assuming the Member is referring to the current capital year, the 2001-2002 year. Yes, I will endeavor to get information on what transfers might have taken place. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Final supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister also give us a briefing in regard to any responses he has seen back in ensuring that the departments are living up to the Financial Administration Act, so we are kept in tune on which ones are breaching the act and which ones are not?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Financial Management Board Secretariat, Mr. Handley.

Mr. Speaker, certainly I hope that none of them are breaching the act, but if there are any, then I certainly will share the information with the Members. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. The time for question period for today has ended. Item 7, written questions. The honourable Member for Yellowknife South, Mr. Bell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Honourable Roger Allen, the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. It is in regard to the Fuel Subsidy Rebate. Two questions:

1. Did the department advertise the extension of the original program past March 31st, 2001 and if so, where?
2. Due to the low uptake, only 78.5 percent of the money was spent. Have we analyzed the program to determine why so many residents were excluded? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Bell. Item 7, written questions. The honourable Member for Great Slave, Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Finance and it concerns funding for non-government organizations. In this Year of the Volunteer, this Assembly has supported the work of volunteer organizations. We have also expressed concern for the stability and funding that this government provides.

I have five questions that I would like the Minister to respond to in this regard:

1. Which non-government organizations does the government assist with core funding or in kind support?
2. Which non-government organizations receive specific project funding?
3. Which non-government organizations have multi-year agreements for core funding?
4. What criteria does the Government of the Northwest Territories use to assess performance and value for money spent?
5. Is there an annual review of performance and results?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Item 7, written questions. Item 8, returns to written questions. Mr. Clerk.

Thank you, Mr. Clerk. Item 8, returns to written questions. Item 9, replies to the opening address. Item 10, petitions. The honourable Member for Great Slave, Mr. Braden.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition dealing with the matter of an amendment to the Northwest Territories Liquor Act and Regulations.

Mr. Speaker, the petition contains 265 signatures of Yellowknife residents. Mr. Speaker, the petitioners request that the Government of the Northwest Territories make proper changes to the Northwest Territories Liquor Act and Regulations to allow for a commercial U-Brew facility in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Item 10, petitions. Item 11, reports of standing and special committees. Item 12, reports of committees on the review of bills. The honourable Member for Inuvik Boot Lake, Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to report to the Assembly that the Standing Committee on Governance and Economic Development has reviewed Bill 1, An Act to Amend the Northwest Territories Business Credit Corporation Act, and wishes to report that Bill 1 is now ready for further consideration in committee of the whole. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Item 12, reports of committees on the review of bills. Item 13, tabling of documents. The honourable Member for Nahendeh, Mr. Antoine.
