(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Premier. Last week, the Premier stated that the GLO positions in the communities were given notice only five days ahead of time. Did the Premier extend a certain number of days to warn the GLOs? Thank you.

Rebecca Mike's Appointment As Nunavut Caucus Chairperson February 19th, 1995
(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On behalf of the Nunavut Caucus, I would like to advise Members of the Legislative Assembly that Ms. Rebecca Mike has been chosen as the new chairperson of the Nunavut Caucus. This appointment was made necessary following Mr. Allooloo's resignation from the position on February 6th. Members of the Nunavut Caucus would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Mr. Allooloo's contributions over the past eight years and thank him for his efforts in support of the aspirations
and needs of the people of Nunavut. Members of the Nunavut Caucus and I am sure, all Members of this House look forward to a continued cooperative approach to addressing the issues relating to the realization of Nunavut, under the able and dedicated leadership of Ms. Mike. I would like to thank her for accepting the position and wish her every success in our future endeavours. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Item 13: Tabling Of Documents February 16th, 1995
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At this time, I would like to table a document. Tabled Document 19-12(7) is written by the hamlet of Grise Fiord requesting a change in section 18(2)(c) to allow the employees of a hamlet to run for a candidate for a municipality or a hamlet with a population of fewer than 500. Thank you.
Question 27-12(7): Community Transfer Agreement With Resolute Bay November 14th, 1994
Thank you, Madam Speaker. There was a letter sent to the Premier on October 24, 1994 from the hamlet council saying they want to take over the responsibilities of social services and health. They want to make an agreement between these two departments and the hamlet council. Has an agreement been reached?
Written Question 3-12(7): Costs Of Operation Of Ice Road November 13th, 1994
Thank you, Madam Speaker and colleagues.
In 1984, the Government of the Northwest Territories planned to make a permanent road from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk. This was not followed up, instead they have a winter road form Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk every year. The distance is only 75 to 80 miles and I am sure it is further through the ice road.
1. My question to the Minister responsible for the Department of Transportation is how much does it cost to operate the ice road from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk per year.
2. Is the government still planning to build a permanent land-based road from Tuktoyaktuk to Inuvik?

Madam Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to go back to item 7, written questions.
Appreciation Of Mr. David Hamilton, Clerk November 13th, 1994
(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. Just to elaborate a little bit more on Mr. Ballantyne's statement, I, too, am very proud of what our Clerk has done. I also wish to rise today to congratulate our Clerk of the Legislative Assembly. He has been here for 11 years now. In 1975 I first was elected as Member for High Arctic. David became our Clerk in 1983, as a newcomer to the Legislative Assembly.
He made a few mistakes back then but, in 1994, after 11 years, I realize he has not made mistakes since; although he is losing hair. I would like to thank him very much for assisting us. He has never said no to me when I needed assistance, even after today. Although he has worked long hours in the Legislative Assembly, he has never shown any fatigue.
The Eighth Session of the 12th Assembly could be my last time as a Member. I know, even after I'm gone, he will constantly be here working and assisting Members of the Legislative Assembly. I personally would like to thank him for having helped me all these years while I was a Member here. I'm only talking about the good things about the Clerk, but perhaps, in the future, I will be making some comments that are not so good. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
---Applause
Question 418-12(6): Cost Of Ice Road From Inuvik To Tuktoyaktuk November 9th, 1994
Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question will be directed to the Minister of Transportation, also Economic Development. In 1974, about 20 years ago, I know he was around here at that time, there was a plan to build the highway from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk. Instead of doing that, they built an ice road from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk. I want to know if the Minister knows how much it costs to operate that ice road from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk.
