Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Is that not just a simple policy question? If I know my circumstance and what it is that I need, the government is there to provide policy; this is a policy issue; this is how we handle it. So does this mean that the government has failed to have policy so that it is clear wher

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you. I appreciate the Government Leader's identifying an area in which she has some familiarity as the former Minister of Health, but I would like to narrow it down even further, using the example that the Minister has used. I can see that there is an inconvenience to a p

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  The intent of my question is to get a further understanding of what the document means, Mr. Chairman. I did not talk to any of the people that put the document together, and I did not talk to any of the people who advised the government. I did not talk to any person within the

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Since we are going through this document in some detail, I would like to make a comment on the business of efficiency. The report does deal in some detail with the difference between efficiency and effectiveness, and how effectiveness is measured in the

Question O170-12(2): Funding Provided For High School Students In The South  I will take the Minister up on that, but I will also ask the Minister to indicate under which policy of government we fund programs for students to go to high school in the South.

Question O170-12(2): Funding Provided For High School Students In The South  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister, under what circumstances do we provide the funds or fees for students to attend high schools in southern jurisdictions?

Question O170-12(2): Funding Provided For High School Students In The South  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Education. We have had quite a bit of discussion over the last while of high school and high school programs and the fact that we have unused capacity in the 13 schools that offer high school programs in the Eastern Arct

"reshaping Northern Government"  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will be more careful with my words today, Mr. Speaker, than I was yesterday. I appreciate your wise words about the care we must take when we address each other. I would like to reiterate that we have had so much experience now with what we call con

Tabled Document 9-12(2): "strength At Two Levels"  Mr. Chairman, I did not catch your eye when we were still on page 10. But it is very brief, if I could. I know we have problems when we refer to what happened in the past government because that is history now. It does not matter much. We do not have a party system here. We

Tabled Document 9-12(2): "strength At Two Levels"  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not want to prolong this business of making introductory comments to a report that we have had for some time now. What seems to have happened is that we have never really sat down in committee to deal with something that really was a product of the

Concern Re Responses Made By Government Leader  I will go on to describe then, my feelings about the response to questions that were asked yesterday. We had understood, as ordinary Members, that having received the Beatty report, we would be involved at that stage in doing something to implement whatever kinds of changes in p

Concern Re Responses Made By Government Leader  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Like Mr. Gargan and Mrs. Marie-Jewell, I am also concerned about the way in which questions were answered yesterday. I am particularly concerned about the response made by our respected Government Leader on the involvement of ordinary Members in the impl

Ministers' Statement 10-12(2): Education Dispute  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The SAMS staff unanimously rejected the proposal of the Beaufort board to allow them to have their time off, but their solution is to spend this $400 so the kids will still get taught. What I want to know, and maybe the Minister could undertake to find

Ministers' Statement 10-12(2): Education Dispute  I will try again. Where is the idea coming from that this can be solved by spending $400? It is in a solution to spend $400 to get some substitute teachers to do the teaching, and keep the kids in school so that they can get their 190 days. Where is this idea coming from that

Ministers' Statement 10-12(2): Education Dispute  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will try the question again in a different way. It is my understanding that the staff at SAMS have rejected the proposal of the regional board, and they have proposed some solutions for in-service which were developed by their director. The director
