Thank you, Madam Speaker. To the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, Madam Speaker, often teachers are able to define specific therapies for students, such as speech therapy. Once this identification has been made, is there a procedure for schools to make sure that these needs are identified, and assessment and treatment is arranged? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister responsible for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment to please advise this House of the following:

1. What is the cost for interpreting services for the Legislative Assembly when the House is in session for one month, including wages and benefits, travel, accommodation, per diems, contract services and any committee meetings?

2. How many hours of Legislative Assembly proceedings are broadcast each day on radio and television in aboriginal languages?

3. What are the average wages of government interpreters?

4. What are the average wages of interpreters at hospitals?

5. What are the average wages of court interpreters?

Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question directed to the Minister of Renewable Resources. For a number of years there have been studies on putting radio collars on polar bears. Last summer, there were ships going up to the North Pole putting radio collars on polar bears. I would like to know if the Minister is aware how much longer they will be using radio collars. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of MACA. There were quite a few hamlets that had a deficit. What is the forecast with regard to these hamlets in the coming year? What will their budgets be like? Could she advise the House on this matter? Thank you.

On Friday, October 14, 1994, I asked a question of the Minister of Transportation regarding the airports, which he took as notice. I have reviewed unedited Hansard and realize that there was a mistake in translation, so I will just ask this question to replace Question 135-12(6) in unedited Hansard, which was wrong. Last summer, the airport at Resolute Bay was upgraded and the runway lighting improved. I would like to ask the Minister of Transportation if there are plans to transfer the airport to the hands of the

territorial government from the federal government. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Qujannamiik. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to rise today to thank Members. In the last 18 years some students were finally able to bring forth their concerns with regard to their teachers taking advantage of them. For 18 years, the students have been hurt deeply. Madam Speaker, the same people I'm talking about are having a meeting in one community. They're attending a healing workshop. This is the first kind of meeting they have been involved in, Madam Speaker. There are a lot of different people gathering in Resolute Bay and these people are involved in a meeting whereby they're taking part in this healing workshop.

I'm very thankful for the coordinators who are taking part in this and who are trying to help with the healing workshop. I feel the children will feel helped and some of them will start to heal. I would like to see more of this in the future. I'm very thankful for people who have participated in the workshop and also thankful to the people who are involved from the Department of Social Services. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Have those communities been advised where they could get their licences?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question will be directed to the Minister of Safety and Public Services, Mr. Nerysoo. Some of the communities are complaining about getting bingo licences. Some of the communities don't know where to go or how to get their bingo licence. Who should they contact to get their bingo licence?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Did I understand that the Minister of Transportation is taking the question as notice?
