My questions are for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. Would the Minister provide the following information:
1. Which mining companies contribute to non-profit
organizations in the NWT, and how much do they contribute?
2. How many NWT residents who work for mining
companies active in the NWT live in communities other than Yellowknife?
3. How many lakes have been lost to diamond
mines and how much water was drained from NWT lakes to accommodate diamond mines?
4. How many fish were lost when these lakes were
drained, and what has been done to compensate for the loss of fish habitat?
5. What is the impact of winter roads to the
diamond mines on caribou herds?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
