Written Question 12-18(2): Status of Vacancies on Co-Management Boards

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have three written questions. First one.

My questions are for the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations. Regarding the co-management boards governing the Mackenzie Valley and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, what progress has the Government of the Northwest Territories made on ensuring that all vacancies on the co-management boards are filled; and could the Minister provide background information on the current state of vacancies, including:

the current number of vacant positions on each of these boards;

how long each of these currently vacant positions have remained vacant;

the nominating authority for each of these vacant positions; and

which, if any, of these boards lack quorum owing to the vacancy of positions?

Second set of questions, Mr. Speaker:
