(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman, yes. Under Community Wellness Programs, I think they do a very good job in the communities dealing with wellness, but I am not really sure who does the Community Wellness Program. I am in favour of those people, but what kinds of community wellness are we talking about? Can the Minister tell me, what types of programs you are carrying under community wellness and what kinds of programs are those? (Translation ends)

Committee Motion 24-13(5): Recommendation To Provide Additional Financial Support To The Tl'oondih Healing Society February 24th, 1998
(Translation) Mr. Chairman, there is $800,000 and $350,000. Is there $1.850 million because it is only $1.150 million? I wonder why the total is not the same? The total from $800,000 to $350,000? There is $800,000 on renovations and the community wellness program is $350,000. Where does the total come from? (Translation ends)

Is this health centre in Gjoa Haven to be replaced, it is an old building? What year was this building constructed? Thank you, Mr. Chairman. (Translation ends)
Question 429-13(5): Arena Opening In Hall Beach February 23rd, 1998
(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. During the Legislative Assembly session some of the Members are not able to attend the session. I wonder why you cannot go to my community to open up the arena. It would have been fair for me as a constituent of Hall Beach that you should be able to attend the opening of the arena. Thank you. (Translation ends)
Question 429-13(5): Arena Opening In Hall Beach February 23rd, 1998
(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. About a week ago, February 20th, the arena was supposed to be open in my constituency of Hall Beach, but it was delayed until March 2nd. The reason was that the Minister informed my constituents that she could not attend. Now it is supposed to be open on March 2nd because of the Minister not being able to go to Hall Beach. Will the Minister be in Hall Beach on March 2nd to open the arena? Thank you. (Translation ends)
Question 421-13(5): Payment For Movement Of Hall Beach Graves February 23rd, 1998

Question 421-13(5): Payment For Movement Of Hall Beach Graves February 23rd, 1998
(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Premier tell me when he will contact the federal government? (Translation ends)
Question 421-13(5): Payment For Movement Of Hall Beach Graves February 23rd, 1998
(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Premier. Mr. Speaker, four Hall Beach workers have not yet been paid for the removal and replacement of 30 graves in 1968. Back then, they were to be paid approximately $4,000 for the work. I understand this would be the responsibility of the federal government. I would like to ask the Premier if he would be willing to contact the federal government to request that these workers in Hall Beach be paid for the work they did in 1968? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Member's Statement 313-13(5): Payment For Movement Of Graves In Hall Beach February 23rd, 1998
(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about my concern regarding an issue I have brought up on two occasions. In March, 1997, I questioned the Minister of MACA about the four men who moved 30 graves in Hall Beach. I brought up the issue again on the February 2nd of this year, but in my understanding is this is not a responsibility of MACA. Hall Beach workers did this work in the summer of 1968 but they did not get paid for that tedious task.
The excavation of bodies is not a duty that should go unpaid and there were 30 of these bodies moved. This task is not something that the average person would want to do. These men helped out the community when they were needed and yet they still were unpaid for their hard work.
Mr. Speaker, I will be directing my questions to the Premier at the appropriate time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends)
Item 19: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters February 19th, 1998
(Translation) Thank you. If I understand correctly, there is no law that requires two exits unless it is a double or further storey building. I mentioned earlier that these are two-storey buildings with a basement. I believe there is a rule or a law, for safety reasons, which requires a person to have more than one exit. I am quite positive that there is some kind of law that needs to be applied. What I was trying to say was that in Igloolik, there are a number of private residences owned by a company from Iqaluit, and they are rented through these companies in Iqaluit. I understand that, according to specifications, a rule is broken if you do not have two exits in a
unit that has a basement or an upper unit. Thank you. (Translation ends)
