Statements in the House

Question O67-12(1): Commitment To Northern Preference Policy December 11th, 1991

Given that when the motion was passed there was a request that this policy be reviewed by the standing committee on finance by August 15, 1990 and that the implementation of the policy be brought forward to the Executive Council and implemented by September 1, 1990, when does the Minister expect this policy will be fully implemented?

Question O67-12(1): Commitment To Northern Preference Policy December 11th, 1991

Could the Minister, then, inform this House what steps his department has taken to implement the policy?

Question O67-12(1): Commitment To Northern Preference Policy December 11th, 1991

My question is for the Minister of Public Works. Mr. Speaker, on April 11, 1990, the 11th Assembly passed a motion asking the government to bring forth a policy that allows only northern companies to bid on government contracts. It is a motion that both the new Minister of Finance and the new Minister of Public Works are well acquainted with since they moved it. Could the Minister tell me if he is still committed to the intent of this motion?

Motion 19-12(1): Construction Of Community Centre For Kakisa December 10th, 1991

Mr. Speaker, I would be prepared to support Mr. Gargan in this motion provided that it is an expression of a protest rather than a change in the process.

Question O53-12(1): Review And Simplification Of Hap Eligibility Criteria December 10th, 1991

My question was about the selection criteria, not HAP application. There is a requirement for a review of the selection criteria. What criteria do you have to meet to be a successful HAP client?

Question O53-12(1): Review And Simplification Of Hap Eligibility Criteria December 10th, 1991

Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation, but he seems to be out of the House; so I will address the question to the Government Leader. Given the concerns expressed over the last two or three years regarding the home-ownership program across the Arctic, I wonder if the Minister or the Government Leader would give serious consideration to quickly doing a complete review on the selection criteria as it relates to HAP, so that we can have a simple explanation of how people can apply and be approved for the HAP program. It is far too complicated right now.

Question O45-12(1): Scheduled Airline Services Rather Than Charters For Court Circuits December 10th, 1991

I hope that the honourable Minister is not suggesting for one minute that judges are immune from this House when it relates to financial aspects of the budget.

Question O45-12(1): Scheduled Airline Services Rather Than Charters For Court Circuits December 10th, 1991

Given the current financial crisis we are currently in and the fact that the justice system, in my opinion, seems to be bankrupt, has the Department of Justice given consideration to using regular scheduled service in transportation rather than chartering across the Territories?

Question O44-12(1): Escalating Costs In Legal Aid December 10th, 1991

My question is to the Minister of Justice. Given the current increase in the rate of crime and the need for legal aid and the fact that up until 1989-90 the federal government was cost sharing the cost of legal aid, what steps, if any, is the Minister of Justice going to take to ensure that these spiralling costs are going to be brought under control? Because it is my understanding that in accordance with the Beatty report the federal government has put a cap on their contribution to the cost of legal aid.

Question O38-12(1): Implementation Of Northern Preference Policies December 10th, 1991

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would, therefore, the Government Leader also, in consideration of this, consolidate the development of these policies under one Minister, possibly the Minister of Finance, so that the co-ordination of these policies could be handled more efficiently?
