Mr. Speaker, I try not to impress upon anyone that I am an environmental scientist in the area of caribou study in no way or no matter, but the reality is I am sure that there could have been an identifiable number said that we can find a minimum. That is what I am talking about; about making sure that people can eat and people can fulfill some of their traditional lifestyles without the government impeding on that type of philosophy. Mr. Speaker, is it too late for this government to find a balance to work out with the First Nations people of this area as well as finding a way for outfitters...

Mr. Speaker, if this was on the radar for so long, why didn’t the Department of ENR manage what I would define as a sustainable hunt? And I would balance it equally between the local, traditional people who need to hunt this for food as well as, of course, the business type of people such as the outfitters who depend on this, who hire local people, and that meat goes to food. Mr. Speaker, we have two large impacted groups that if this was in the red zone continually, why wasn’t early on a number identified so these groups could work together and find a manageable balance? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to thank the Minister for that commitment there. I think that’s an excellent solve for this particular issue, I’d be willing to help the Minister with some of the research I’ve done to show that perhaps it maybe isn’t that complicated to bring forward this idea. If the Minister would be willing to see what is out there, would he be willing to potentially take this on as a legislative initiative if we can do it this time around or certainly set it up so it’s a consideration for the next government in 14 or 16 months from now?

Mr. Speaker, I am aware that CMHC actually has the clause built in about protecting the loan. Mr. Speaker, as I cited today, back in the ‘70s Alberta instituted protection for home buyers to make sure that their home had a warranty if something happened. We don’t have to look very far here in the recent past with Bayview Estates when the builder ran into problems and the project came to its knees and a grinding halt. That put those potential homeowners at significant risk. Mr. Speaker, would the Minister look into the issue of potentially creating legislation that could provide this type of...

Mr. Speaker, that is one of the better answers that I have heard from this Minister in a while. Mr. Speaker, this Minister is wanting a show about working together and doing homework. At present, I have already started working on a private Member’s bill on this particular issue. When it gets finalized, I am going to bring it forward to my colleagues to see if they have input. I guess my question to the Minister directly is: would he like to co-author this bill and show some unanimity in this House where that side of the House, the government side works with Regular Members, put our citizens...

...to the issue of being challenged. Mr. Speaker, you know, gathering data is about as useful as collecting a single e-mail on this particular case. What does that actually mean in the real life of bringing forward legislation that reflects a ban for this type of product in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I’d like to raise the issue I was discussing in my Member’s statement today and it’s my concern that there is still no legislation, that I’m aware of, on the legislative agenda coming forward in this Legislature’s term.

Mr. Speaker, we have a little more than a year and a half left, and the question keeps getting asked to the Minister of Transportation, where is this legislation, where is the department on this legislation, where is the department on this issue.

So, Mr. Speaker, to the Minister of Transportation: does he expect any legislation coming forward...

I thank the Minister for that answer. Would that also include some updates as to where the status of training of individuals would be on that particular list? In other words, if all 14 units are farmed out, are all regions that have received this equipment that they have someone trained and qualified in order to be able to run the unit? Furthermore, would information be available to cite that we have people on board to help deal with problems so they can work with our informatics teams to make sure these things are up and running, that type of information? In other words, do we have qualified...

Mr. Chairman, I am wondering if the Minister knows which two units have been in use the longest. I am referring to outside the Stanton Territorial Hospital. What type of services have primarily been focused in on and how many hours were they in use? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, just following up on the issues raised under the telehealth, understanding that we have 14 of the units out there, could I get some detail as to how many of the units have service operators and what type of training those individual service operators receive? Thank you.
