Statements in Debates
We can provide that up-to-date information of our correspondence with the various parties. Mahsi.
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
Again the framework that we are working on would consist of industries, Aboriginal governments, and it could also include the departments as well. Mahsi.
Mahsi, Mr. Chair. The exact number we have is 10.75 public housing rental subsidy positions being transferred back to the Housing Corporation. Mahsi.
Those are the things that we need to look at: what’s out there right now, what are the options. We need to get back to the department and find what we need to work with. This is an area that we need to look at in more detailed information and we’ll see what the outcome will be.
Mahsi, Mr. Chair. I believe the negotiation is up and coming in 2012. I believe that is the expiration date. That will be before us as we move forward. Mahsi.
For those communities without those establishments, and small communities, we are exploring different areas, whether it be expanding on the mobile training that is similar to what we have in the Beaufort-Delta. We are currently exploring those areas because it has been very successful to date. It is producing talented individuals in the community. We want to tackle those areas. That’s where it’s at especially with the small communities without the establishments.
Since it was brought to our attention, we shared with the college immediately, because it was the wish of the students and we haven’t conducted a feasibility study as of yet. The program that has been requested, we need to explore further, do our research and work with the southern institutions who can best deliver that program. We do have various partners in southern institutions, so we will be conducting those studies as well. Mahsi.
Mahsi. This is an area that we have explored and are working towards that. This is a national issue where individuals come in with their doctor’s certification but it’s not recognized by different provinces or different areas. We have an understanding between the federal, provincial and territorial Ministers that we need to recognize some of those credentials that are being brought forward from other parts of the country. So, Mr. Speaker, we are working with it nationally and provincially, and also at the territorial level. So we continue to work on that. Mahsi.
We don’t have the specifics in place yet but we are developing a framework to work on that within our department to work with the small communities.
