The Impact Of Cuts And The Resulting Hardships In Communities  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the past year has been difficult.

Bill 15: Statute Revision Act  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to confirm, for my own piece of mind at this point, regarding the statutes revisions, we're not writing new laws; we're not making any substantive changes.

Bill 6: An Act To Amend The Education Act, S.n.w.t., 1995, C.28  I suggest we go into detail, Mr. Chairman.

Question 345-13(3): Burned-out Light Bulbs In The Chamber  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Public Works and Services.

Bill 5: An Act To Amend The Motor Vehicles Act  Thank you, Madam Chair. I would just like to speak briefly in favour of amendments put forward by the Member for Yellowknife North.

Committee Motion 12-13(3): To Amend Clause 3(2) Of Bill 11, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. I think some of this discussion is important because it's all been done, to this point, behind closed doors, and people haven't heard about the Mortgage Investment Corporation. I think we have to keep that in mind. Personally, I think this is something I

Motion 12-13(3): Rates Charged To Seniors Resident In Long-term Care Facilities, Carried  (Microphone turned off) ... Social Programs committee since November looking at the business plans.

Question 331-13(3): Status Of Regional Changes To Pws  Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 331-13(3): Status Of Regional Changes To Pws  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The House is scheduled to adjourn tomorrow and people will be leaving on Thursday and Friday.

Question 331-13(3): Status Of Regional Changes To Pws  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Public Works and Services.

Committee Report 1-13(3): Standing Committee On Government Operations Report On The Review Of The 1996-97 Main Estimates  If we were to repatriate this service, would the federal government transfer funds as well?

Committee Report 1-13(3): Standing Committee On Government Operations Report On The Review Of The 1996-97 Main Estimates  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is this the complete cost that we currently now expend on elections? What do we pay this guy?

Committee Report 2-13(3): Standing Committee On Infrastructure Report On The Review Of The 1996-97 Main Estimates  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a few brief comments. One of the concerns I have about FMBS is, while they indicate that they are becoming more efficient, cutting their costs and size, to me, a lot of that is a function of off-loading onto the other departments; functions they ha
