Question 249-12(6): Reasons For Selection Of Yellowknife For Awg Site  (Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. She will probably find out that in the NWT, Inuvik is one of our largest centres. Although Inuvik is a lot smaller than the biggest community, they made their bid to the committee. Does the Minister support innovative approaches which w

Question 249-12(6): Reasons For Selection Of Yellowknife For Awg Site  (Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. The question I have is to the Minister of MACA. As we all are aware, Yellowknife was the successful bidder for the 1998 Arctic Winter Games. There is always speculation regarding why one community was chosen over another. Is the Minist

1998 Arctic Winter Games Site Selection  Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, this morning I heard the announcement of Yellowknife as the site for the 1998 Arctic Winter Games. While I'm sure the city of Yellowknife will do a fine job of hosting the games, the selection of Yellowknife over Inuvik disturbed me. Ma

Committee Motion 36-12(6): To Adopt Recommendation 4, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will rephrase my question so that I will not put the Premier in that kind of situation. The department is not planning to -- or at least has not decided, according to the Premier's response -- have completely different facilities altogether, from the

Committee Motion 36-12(6): To Adopt Recommendation 4, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll try to be really quick. The Minister is saying then that the letter from KRC's speaker stated that we were surprised to hear on the radio last month that your department officials had began a movement to remove the alcohol and drug facilities from

Committee Motion 36-12(6): To Adopt Recommendation 4, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The alcohol and drug treatment centre, under various Keewatin; there was a lot of discussion and letter-writing back and forth between the department of health and the regional health board from Keewatin over the past several years. The latest one has b

Committee Motion 36-12(6): To Adopt Recommendation 4, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think I need the chairman's direction; I did not see anything for the Keewatin region in this capital on the health and hospital boards. Although, on the following pages, there is a program on community development for an alcohol and drug treatment ce

Committee Motion 36-12(6): To Adopt Recommendation 4, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My last question. I'm not trying to get away with getting into O and M. The last question I have, Mr. Chairman, is will there be a directive issued from the department requiring both health and social services workers in the community to work together

Committee Motion 36-12(6): To Adopt Recommendation 4, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just two more quick questions. In small communities, there are usually two half PYs; one for a CHR and another half PY for a social worker. I think most of my communities are operating under that condition. Those two PYs can be handled, then, by one p

Committee Motion 36-12(6): To Adopt Recommendation 4, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have a quick question. We, too, have been having problems with nursing personnel in Coral Harbour. But, this is more of a general question, not so much about the capital area, but more in O and M. But it does have to do with long-term goals, an

Appointment Of Mary Simon As Circumpolar Ambassador  Madam Speaker, over the past few months, Members were aware that the federal government was considering appointing a circumpolar ambassador.

Committee Motion 31-12(6): Reprofiling The Renovation To The Coral Harbour Community Learning Centre, Carried  The last comment I'm going to make is that in the budget, you'll see that you have over $2.9 million for the school extension for Coral Harbour in the following pages. I seem to have seen somewhere, the awarding of a contract information that, I think, the lowest bid -- who is d

Committee Motion 31-12(6): Reprofiling The Renovation To The Coral Harbour Community Learning Centre, Carried  Mr. Chairman, I'm not in a position to comment on policy, but I could see that...I'm from Coral Harbour. I've been in that school many, many times. I have, in fact, participated in instruction in life-skills programs, especially on the land, et cetera, or pre-employment life-sk

Committee Motion 31-12(6): Reprofiling The Renovation To The Coral Harbour Community Learning Centre, Carried  Mr. Chairman, then Mr. Kaulbach's comments will be withdrawn from Hansard?

Committee Motion 31-12(6): Reprofiling The Renovation To The Coral Harbour Community Learning Centre, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason I brought this up is because we have been getting phone calls and letters. I also got a reply, by letter, from the Minister about this. I was hoping for a more positive response.
