Within about two months of being sworn in as MLA in 'ninety two, Curragh shut down - or announced a big huge layoff.

I assume not, Mr. Speaker, and I consider, within the equity of our democratic society, all folks ought to be handled equally. I perceive the minister acquired a letter at present from the Town of Watson Lake, and I'd prefer to file that letter with the Clerk. One of the points made within the letter was that well being care is a territorial duty, not a municipal responsibility. Responsibility for funding something like Signpost Seniors, or a multi-stage health care facility, lies with the territorial authorities. It was generated by a federal government initiative, and we always know that CDF projects are sometimes carried out by contractors, whether it is constructing initiatives for communities - regardless of the case may be. However, we were not able to overcome the time constraints surrounding the coaching and, due to this fact, we did not flow the money to the project.

Let's check out a number of the circumstances surrounding the mine closure in Faro.

I think a lot of the result and plenty of these subsequent workshops that happened are going to show to be very, very beneficial, as they level out the need, not for simply fireplace-breaks around communities, however a need for a cohesive method to firefighting from all ranges of presidency. In January of this 12 months, a multi-government workshop, involving the Yukon forest fee, the Yukon Department of Community and Transportation Services and the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, convened to discuss an motion plan for fireplace-safe communities.

The federal government labored that association out with the Teslin Tlingit First Nation. Mr. Speaker, I would identical to the minister to elucidate to Yukoners how he believes that building recreational facilities is going to help the 400 unemployed staff locally at present to find jobs. We've heard this minister chastising the federal authorities for no relocation cash, but this authorities is doing completely nothing to help. The contribution of $a hundred,000 for these lengthy-standing concerns in the community was put ahead by the Town of Faro. Most of the expenditure is being made by the municipal government.

Mr. Speaker, we're not speaking about whether or not there are individuals left in Faro presently or not; we're speaking about one of the best use of taxpayers' money to help these people. There may be 167 youngsters there right now, but if the mine would not go back in operation - and the Member for Faro can say that he has great confidence that it will, however that is not what he is saying in public. We have folks in that community who're on the meals financial institution - 50 households.

He mentioned he is doing better right now, but still will get drained faster than he did before he had legionnaires' illness. He mentioned he spent this summer attempting to take pleasure in life as a lot as possible.

The new Iraqi government wants custody of Saddam Hussein and all other prisoners by the point sovereignty is handed over on the end of this month, the interim prime minister said. The other CDF project that has been approved is an eco-tourism project, and it's involving the sheep, of which the work was done by the previous authorities when it comes to enhancement. We suppose we have a possible for the Yukon - not only for Faro - for a vital wilderness tourism destination for individuals to view very unique wildlife, Fannin sheep, and we need to work on that and the individuals of the group need to work on that. I'm not going to snuff out their hopes for generating a extra diverse native economic base due to resistance for that from the opposition.

And but here this authorities is eternally crying, "We haven't got the money. We cannot do that. We can't be all issues to all people." But but they will continue to spend cash in what I consider to be a really unwise manner. Some of them will stay within the Town of Faro, but let's be sensible. If some of them do stay within the Town of Faro, if the mine doesn't return to work, the inhabitants is going to be very, very small, they usually do have, as most Yukon communities do, a considerable amount of recreational facilities now. I just do not believe that it is a prudent expenditure of taxpayers' dollars right now. Mr. Speaker, there are things that this authorities might do to assist the people of Faro, and I know that most individuals in Faro would love to have the ability to have another job somewhere and to have the ability to relocate if essential.
