Bill 1: Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 2, 1991-92 December 15th, 1991
Motion 27-12(1): Strategy Committee For Implementation Of Recommendations Of "strength At Two Levels" December 15th, 1991
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think we would like to point out to the House that any changes that we may make in government structure would ultimately have to pass through the standing committee on legislation, the standing committee on finance or the standing committee on agencies, boards and commissions, or all three of these committees, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, ordinary Members will be consulted through the process even though the House may not be sitting.
Mr. Speaker, we will commit to involve ordinary Members in reviewing the path that we may follow with "Strength At Two Levels." We are unable, though, to go as far as to say that three Members from the other side could join us at cabinet meetings. However, you have our commitment, Mr. Speaker, that ordinary Members will be involved. Thank you very much.
Item 11: Tabling Of Documents December 15th, 1991
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table Tabled Document 29-12(1), an excerpt from the Canadian Aviation News re frequent flyer programs and points. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Question O122-12(1): Effect Of Offshore Activity On The Northern Economy December 15th, 1991
Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Question O121-12(1): Number Of Staff Employed At Expo '92 December 15th, 1991
I will take the question as notice, Mr. Speaker.
Question O121-12(1): Number Of Staff Employed At Expo '92 December 15th, 1991
I think the number that I recorded, Mr. Speaker, was 48 Northerners. That is not the total number. I think the total number will be in excess of 50.
Question O118-12(1): Economic Benefits From Activities In Japan December 15th, 1991
Mr. Speaker, the difficulty is that the event in Japan has just occurred and I will not know for some time if there has been any benefit accruing from that, so I would have to get back to the department and merely come to the House with what they think the benefit will be to the government. In that respect, sir, I am taking the question as notice.
Question O118-12(1): Economic Benefits From Activities In Japan December 15th, 1991
I am aware of the goings-on in Japan and I think we are also looking at Germany as well, Mr. Speaker. I have asked the department for an accounting of that. I am unable to tell the Member at this time the benefits to the Northwest Territories, but I will endeavour to seek that out. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Question O115-12(1): Expenditure To Date On Expo '92 December 15th, 1991
Mr. Speaker, I did give all those numbers to the House on Friday, and I will get some more details for the Member and get back to him as to how those numbers are added up.
Second Reading Of Bill 3: Adoption Of The French Version Of Statutes And Statutory Instruments Act December 12th, 1991
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Natilikmiot, that Bill 3, An Act to Amend the Adoption of the French Version of Statutes and Statutory Instruments Act, be read for the second time. The purpose of the bill is to permit regulations in force on December 31, 1990, that have been repealed or repealed and replaced since that date, to be excluded from the revised regulations, 1990. It would also exclude the Supreme Court rules which are already in bilingual form. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
