Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will definitely look into it, but we also have to realize that communities do have emergency measure plans for these types of incidents. We have to work with the municipal government of Behchoko to also ensure that we are working with the MLA. We have to see exactly what happened here and exactly how we comply with the emergency measures plan that is in place. Again, I will work with my colleague from MACA, the MLA and the community to resolve this problem. Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, given our recent experience with the elders' home in Behchoko, will the Minister commit to meeting with myself and a community representative to discuss the overall maintenance of the building and the safety of the residents? It is not just a generator, Mr. Speaker, it is the overall maintenance of the building. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will commit to the Member to do that. I believe we are going to be doing a tour of the Member's riding at the end of March, so we can maybe add this to our agenda for discussions while we are on the tour. Thank you.

Question 460-15(4): New Home Concept - Mackenzie Valley Gas Pipeline Project
Item 6: Oral Questions
Page 1336

Kevin A. Menicoche Nahendeh
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the honourable Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation just with respect to the new home concept from ABC Company. I have been getting inquiries from constituents. They are concerned about their previous experiences with trailer-type homes, the quality of construction and just the life expectancy of trailers in general. They are saying if the government is going to be supportive of an industry that has previously poor workmanship, how are our constituents going to know what these homes look like without having a show home for them to look at? Does the Housing Corporation have a plan in order to display or show these homes in more of the public of the NWT other than what was depicted in the news media? They showed quite a concept there. Is it different?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, Mr. Speaker, we are developing a promotion plan where we are looking at establishing these units in different communities. We are looking at putting one unit in Inuvik, Norman Wells and Fort Simpson. We are hoping to deliver these over the summer months; so we are hoping to have them in place by this fall. Again, it is all dependent on where we go with our proposal and exactly if it's acceptable or not. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think that is all we can ask the Housing Corporation, is that you are embarking on a very good initiative that is supported by many people in the communities and the regions, but they are not going to know more unless we show them more. Once again, what was the timing, again, of displaying this product in the North? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are hoping to have them in place this summer. Again, the company we are working with will be the one putting these in place. It is their dime that is going to be spent on this. So it is their schedule. They are looking at where we are going to locate these in the different communities and work with communities on where they would like them to be located. Again, we will be consulting those communities on exactly how we are going to lay out these three units.
I also want to mention that we are also looking at Fort Providence in conjunction with the Deh Cho Bridge as part of the pilot. We were looking at there and also have one of these show homes in Fort Providence, also. Thank you.

Question 461-15(4): WCB Assessment Rates For Quick Service Restaurants
Item 6: Oral Questions
February 23rd, 2006

Robert Hawkins Yellowknife Centre
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday, I received an e-mail from what could be described as the Yellowknife quick QSR food group services and the concern that some of the responses are not going to be returned by the president of the WCB. I know Minister Dent, who is the Minister of WCB, has received the e-mail because it was directed to him. Can the Minister tell us today that the WCB will be responding fully to the questions raised at that meeting held with the president of the WCB? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Maybe I didn't say clearly, I didn't say meet, I said answer the question. So, Mr. Speaker, I was at that meeting, I think it was two weeks ago. That was the one that I was late to attend the start of session, but I thought it was important to be there while all those questions were asked, and there was a promise to respond to the questions that were asked and that's what I'm asking. Will the WCB, through the president or the chair, be responding, as promised, to the concerns raised by this Yellowknife QSR group? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We're getting really close and I like this. I guess, Mr. Speaker, all I need really is a yes or a no, not a meet to discuss to see about responding. Will the WCB, as agreed upon at that meeting that I was at, they agreed to respond fully to the questions raised. So would the Minister confirm today that the WCB will be fully responding to the concerns raised that day at that public meeting? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
