Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Mr. Chairman, if the Member for Deh Cho is interested, we can look at convening a meeting of that committee. We do have another meeting scheduled at some time, but because of the session it is difficult to plan. So that can be considered. But again, I cannot even try to schedule

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Mr. Chairman, that is not what am advocating at all. For instance, if the group said, "We feel there is sufficient work being done in the commission and there is a need and we all agree we want to go out there and want to be involved in the campaign, whether we support it or not

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Mr. Chairman, the Member is correct.

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  I cannot speak for the Metis or Dene leadership or the different aboriginal organizations or anyone else.

So there was some allocation made for the

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Mr. Chairman, the group was set up last spring and it follows, basically, the membership that made up the Western Constitutional Forum that collapsed in October 1989 or 1990, 1 cannot remember, in Norman Wells. It is the Dene Nation, the Metis Nation, and it also includes the Gwi

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  I guess I am saying that if the Dene Nation said they want $70,000 to get ready for a plebiscite vote, I would say, no, it would not be considered, because it goes against the political understanding I had with the other aboriginal groups that formed that political group. I am sa

Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Mr. Chairman, the political agreement that was reached again last year was that -- and the understanding that I have been operating with, both in the last government and this one is that any funding proposals regarding plebiscites or political or constitutional development issues

Question O392-12(2): Endurance Of Pain And Reviewing The Issue Of Abortion  Point of order.

Question O376-12(2): Pay Increase To Hay Plan Employees  Yes.

Question O370-12(2): Average Pay Increase Of Senior Managers  Mr. Speaker, you and I know that I do not have that kind of information in my head. I cannot answer that question.

Question O369-12(2): Terms Of Employment Legislation  Mr. Speaker, the senior management in the Government of the NWT, which are covered under the Hay Plan, generally follow whatever is settled with the UNW; what the rest of the government employees get is generally what we try to follow, especially in regard to inflation and increa
