Question O369-12(2): Terms Of Employment Legislation  Mr. Speaker, the other week we met with the teachers' union. The negotiators signed an agreement which would go to their members on a vote which would decide whether or not the teachers across the NWT would accept or reject this particular agreement. Last week we met with the Uni

Question O368-12(2): Government Employees Holding Business Licences  Mr. Speaker, I would need to take this question and go back a couple of years to when this issue came up in the House, because I think there was a legal opinion given at that time about whether or not we have any power to restrict the activities of government employees' offhours,

Question O361-12(2): Expenses Of Minister Travelling To Pond Inlet  Mr. Speaker, I think I will take the question as notice because I cannot confirm that in fact the Executive is not using money to allow Ministers to be involved in this campaign when there is already money allocated by this Legislature specifically for that purpose.

Question O361-12(2): Expenses Of Minister Travelling To Pond Inlet  Mr. Speaker, for those of us who are interested, we all have money to go home to our constituencies to do the work that the Legislature and our offices oblige us to carry out. My understanding, again, and apologies to new Members who were not here, but last July the understanding

Question O361-12(2): Expenses Of Minister Travelling To Pond Inlet  Mr. Speaker, I am not privy to the information.

Question O360-12(2): Factual Information On Plebiscite  Mr. Speaker, in committee of the whole we have a document on the plebiscite direction.

Question O360-12(2): Factual Information On Plebiscite  Mr. Speaker, the main driving force for the plebiscite and division in the settlement of the Nunavut claim, in the creation of Nunavut, I think Members recognize, is the Tungavik Federation of Nunavut; and it was the Members' feeling, again, last July that the Legislative Assembl

Question O359-12(2): Ministers' Code Of Conduct Re Boundary Plebiscite  Mr. Speaker, there are some better informed historians in this Legislature than I am. But I have been led to believe that it is one of the more controversial, emotional issues that has hit this Legislature since its infancy. Not that it is out of it, but we know that it is a very

Question O359-12(2): Ministers' Code Of Conduct Re Boundary Plebiscite  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Titus Allooloo is not a lead Minister in any sense in this exercise. I expect that other MLAs, such as Rebecca Mike, John Ningark, Silas Arngna'naaq and John Todd, at cetera, will all be expected to be present when the TFN approaches their communities and their c

Question O359-12(2): Ministers' Code Of Conduct Re Boundary Plebiscite  Mr. Speaker, as I recall, the direction given by the last Legislative Assembly last summer indicated that we would provide some financial support for a public awareness campaign which would be co-ordinated through the Tungavik Federation office.
