Bill 1: Appropriation Act, No. 2, 1994-95 (Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When they were developing the Inuktitut curriculum, I think it was every two months that there were some educational programs in Inuktitut. Is there timely development of Inuktitut curriculum in your department?

Bill 1: Appropriation Act, No. 2, 1994-95 (Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister of Education, at the beginning of last year divisional boards of education were given quarterly funding. The money was put right into the bank and they collected interest. After collecting interest, that

Bill 8: An Act To Amend The Legislative Assembly And Executive Council Act I don't understand why this bill should be introduced if it is going to cost us more in the long run. I just wanted to tell the public by introducing this bill, we are not saving any money at all because we are already spending it. However, I guess we have to show we are going

Bill 8: An Act To Amend The Legislative Assembly And Executive Council Act Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think this is what I wanted to hear, because I do want to show the UNW that we are making a prejudgment as to what we want to do with them. I think that is wrong. It is very hard to think and understand to save $24,000, we are spending...I don't know

Bill 8: An Act To Amend The Legislative Assembly And Executive Council Act Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand that the spirit or the intent is to show the union that we would like them to do the same thing by fall. If that is the case, then why not just direct MSB -- if bargaining is successful in a zero freeze -- to move that the MLAs' salaries wi

Bill 8: An Act To Amend The Legislative Assembly And Executive Council Act Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With that very small amount, I hope we are not seen by the public as hypocritical in trying to show the public that we are instituting a freeze and making a big saving. I don't think that is the case. However, in the spirit of the thought, my questio

Bill 8: An Act To Amend The Legislative Assembly And Executive Council Act Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a couple of quick questions. According to Mr. Gargan, there were some other freezes that, according to Mr. Zoe, still come up to only $27,000 savings to the government. Is that with all the travel and everything else that will be frozen? Is that

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters Last one, Mr. Chairman. Is the $39.729 million an estimate from the previous year's revenue or is this the maximum potential if you collect all the revenue?

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is this $39 million fairly conservative for 1994-95 or is it an average?

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just need a clarification here. You have total expenditures of $77.526 million. You also have total revenues of $39.729 million. Is there an incentive for the local housing organizations to be able to collect revenues more aggressively, or is $39.7

Bill 4: An Act To Amend The Hamlets Act Mr. Chairman, my last question is not related to that one. There is a section or provision in the final agreement of the land claims. I don't have my copy with me right now so I cannot pinpoint the exact clause it's under, but I know there is a provision for the community to ex

Bill 4: An Act To Amend The Hamlets Act Mr. Chairman, that comment was a little closer by having to have a public hearing in order to create new parcels of land. This is the present practice right now, anyway, for the leased lands. If a new municipal development is held in the public meeting in the community hall eve

Bill 4: An Act To Amend The Hamlets Act Not even close, Mr. Chairman. In this act or under a regulation of MACA, would there be something stating that once you have a referendum approving that plots of municipal land will be assigned for sale, how often these municipal land maps or town maps could be amended, changed,

Bill 4: An Act To Amend The Hamlets Act Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Not quite. Maybe I didn't phrase my question properly.

Bill 4: An Act To Amend The Hamlets Act Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
