Written Question 50-15(3): Supervisory Policy

Fuel Spill At Jackfish Lake Power Plant

My question is for the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation:

Please provide a report on exactly what happened at the Jackfish power plant with the recent diesel spill, including the answers to: when did it happen, how did it happen, what was the cause and what has been done to make sure it doesn’t happen again?

What is the number of the full staff complement at the plant over the last five years?

How many overtime hours were worked at the plant by how many employees over the last five years?

What was done by the corporation to address any morale problem arising from the reduction in staff complement and too much overtime?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
