From the information I have, the corporation is no longer providing accommodation in Fort Smith and only has one unit available in Yellowknife. As I indicated, the employees in Fort Simpson, Norman Wells and Inuvik are actively discussing with the Power Corporation their interest in purchasing those units that are available. I believe that where there is interest and where we can move without the encumbrance of having to resolve the property status, we can move very quickly to do that, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, the corporation is currently activating meetings with employees to discuss the disposal of the accommodation in Fort Simpson, Norman Wells and Inuvik. There are a number of smaller communities in the north where the corporation has housing units that they no longer require and we are in the process of formally transferring all property of the NWT Power Corporation. Now that this obstacle is out of the way, the corporation plans to sell staff accommodation in those communities where they no longer have needs identified.

Mr. Speaker, one of the problems has been in the proper survey of the lots in the community. It didn't allow very clear access or identification of the sale and the security that an interested party may have in getting a mortgage and purchasing that particular unit. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I'll take the question as notice. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish I could but I do not believe that the process that's going on right now will be concluded. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the whole issue of the nursing staff at all the health centres is presently being looked at to see what is a fair number to staff the health centres. I have said it before in the House, but I will restate it again: the staffing of the health centres were taken over as is.

The plan of the department is to attempt, as quickly as possible, to continue to work toward establishing a formula for the number of people who would be at the nursing station. So we are actively pursuing that formula. In education, there is a formula for staffing the school system because of the high number of children, and I believe that it's only fair that we move in a similar direction in looking at the health units. At this time, it is difficult to do because the union negotiations are not yet concluded, and making any suggestions or changes is not really appropriate. So, once the arbitration is over, we'll attempt to try to bring that discussion forward so that the health centres can see a window of opportunity to have their concerns addressed.

We realize that at the present time there are float nurses that are available to spell people off; however, we know that's not

adequate. In some of the larger stations, as well, they are feeling that the growth of their communities has not been taken into consideration in terms of staffing of those units. As quickly as we can move in this area, the issue is in active consideration. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I will take that question as notice. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Minister responsible, I will take the question as notice., Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I will take that question as notice. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the assumption is quite correct. I think that the Minister of MACA has already brought into force a team so he could work in the Baffin region. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
