Statements in the House

Committee Motion 6-14(3): To Defer Activity, Corporate Management, Rwed (carried) June 26th, 2000

What I am asking is, I was looking at the Business Development Fund from April, 1998, to March 31st, 1999. Out of a total appropriation of $9,390,000, Hay River received $326,000, and more than half of that was to the fishing industry. That does not seem like a very fair distribution of funds, as far as promoting business across the Northwest Territories.

Committee Motion 6-14(3): To Defer Activity, Corporate Management, Rwed (carried) June 26th, 2000

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is there any attempt by the department to spread this money out evenly in the regions or the communities to help with businesses? Is there any attempt at all to do that?

Committee Motion 6-14(3): To Defer Activity, Corporate Management, Rwed (carried) June 26th, 2000

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, is there any money being received back to the government from this fund that has been going out? If there is, where does that money go?

Committee Motion 6-14(3): To Defer Activity, Corporate Management, Rwed (carried) June 26th, 2000

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was wondering about the Business Development Fund, is there any money left in that fund? Is there still money there to borrow?

Item 5: Recognition Of Visitors In The Gallery June 25th, 2000

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize a young lady in the gallery, my constituency assistant from Hay River, who has come over to try and help me sort out the masses of paper we are getting in the last few days, Debra Paulo.

Item 21: Report Of Committee Of The Whole June 22nd, 2000

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Bill 1, Appropriation Act 2000-2001, and would like to report progress. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of the committee of the whole be concurred with.

Question 47-14(3): Regional Oil And Gas Positions June 22nd, 2000

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Is there a set time, Mr. Speaker, for when these positions in the regions are going to be put into place?

Question 47-14(3): Regional Oil And Gas Positions June 22nd, 2000

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I take it from that then the position at headquarters is not going to be an extra position, apart from what is at headquarters right now.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to know if the Minister could tell this House where the position for the South Slave will be located?

Question 47-14(3): Regional Oil And Gas Positions June 22nd, 2000

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The position that you marked headquarters, or the one that the Minister has referred to just now, could the Minister tell me if that position is in place right now or is it going to be put in place?

Question 47-14(3): Regional Oil And Gas Positions June 22nd, 2000

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for Mr. Handley. I was impressed with everything that is coming out in the oil and gas industry and the possibilities for the North. We have heard many, many times, that the diamond industry in the Northwest Territories has done much for the North, but in fact it is all in Yellowknife.

So I am looking forward to oil and gas as being much more beneficial to the Northwest Territories outside of Yellowknife.

One area in the budget speech that kind of caught my eye was you mentioned the creation of four regional positions, petroleum advisor positions. I would like to ask the Minister if he could tell us exactly where these positions are going to be. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
