Statements in the House

Question O157-12(1): Government's Support Of Inherent Right Of Aboriginal Self-government December 17th, 1991

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the

Minister of Education. On December 13th I asked him about the post-secondary student living allowance program that is provided by the GNWT and the difference between the DIAND program. I would like to know when he is going to make a response to my question.

Item 11: Tabling Of Documents December 15th, 1991

Mr. Speaker, I would like to table Tabled Document 27-12(1), An International Conservation Strategy for the Endangered Bowhead Whale of Baffin Bay by K.J. Finley Ecological Research. Thank you.

Question O110-12(1): Abstinence Clause For Alcohol And Drug Workers In Baffin Region December 12th, 1991

My understanding is that what works over here does not always work in other regions. In that way, will your government take steps to try and resolve this problem?

Question O110-12(1): Abstinence Clause For Alcohol And Drug Workers In Baffin Region December 12th, 1991

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My earlier question was addressed to the Minister of Social Services. In the Baffin Region there was only one community in agreement with the abstention clause for counsellors. The majority of the communities hesitantly signed, thinking that their funding would be cut. This continues to be the issue, and from the Ministers' statement I see that "if they do not adopt it, there will be no more funding until the communities involved establish new societies that will accept this important condition."

Question O110-12(1): Abstinence Clause For Alcohol And Drug Workers In Baffin Region December 12th, 1991

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Government Leader. I was somewhat happy to see the Beatty report, but having heard the Minister of Social Services' Ministers' statement on the abstention clause, I was hoping that this new government would take initiatives from the community level to the cabinet and to the Legislative Assembly in that approach. Will your new government operate in such a way that it is dictating?

Question O105-12(1): Differing Rates For Post-secondary Students December 12th, 1991

Mr. Speaker, would the Minister of Education provide the figures for the other programs that DIAND does not offer?

Question O105-12(1): Differing Rates For Post-secondary Students December 12th, 1991

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It was brought to my attention by one of the post-secondary students from my region that the NWT program for living allowance for a single student is $522.86 and the DIAND program for a single student is $675 a month; and that DIAND program figure is from 1989 -- it is not even up to date. I would like to know, since this government usually likes to keep up with the Indian and Northern Affairs' figures, why the NWT program is a lot lower than DIAND's.

Question O101-12(1): Funding To Divisional Boards Of Education December 12th, 1991

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is supplementary to Mr. Pudlat's question on monthly or block funding to educational divisional boards. Did the Auditor General give any reasons why he would recommend quarterly funding as opposed to block funding?

Question O87-12(1): Extension Of Abstinence Policy To Social Workers December 12th, 1991

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Is the Minister aware that most of the communities in the Baffin Region did not agree with the abstention clause but felt they had to sign in order to obtain the funds for the purpose of dealing with people who have drug and substance abuse problems?

Question O87-12(1): Extension Of Abstinence Policy To Social Workers December 12th, 1991

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The social workers do similar work to that of the alcohol and drug counsellors in the communities. Will that abstention clause be imposed on social workers as well?
