Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister’s response on the last one.

Standing committee again recommended that ECE should stay abreast of the website developments that pose a risk to students and that ECE provide an updated list to education authorities of those websites that should be blocked on school communication systems.

Can the Minister indicate if this is indeed in place and how is it working? Thank you.

Does committee agree that Bill 41 is ready for third reading as amended?

Thank you. Committee, Bill 38, An Act to Amend the Jury Act, clause 1.

So from what I’m gathering, we are still working on that program. A further action of this report by standing committee was that a territorial code of conduct, safe school guidelines and school practices should empower bystanders to report bullying and ensure protective measures are taken afterwards.

---Clauses 34 to 40 inclusive approved

The entire cost of the proposal, estimated in the order of $100 million, was to be spread over the next 20 years.

Can the Minister give us an update to this...

Question has been called. The motion is carried.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Continuing on with general comments, I have Mr. Moses.

Thank you. I’m disappointed that the Minister would use scare tactics such as let’s just raise the price of tickets for passengers, let’s raise the prices for the airlines themselves. This is preposterous. These scare tactics are just being used to camouflage what I consider poor management, bottom line. We as a government have a responsibility to be better managers and not use scare tactics.

Can the Minister indicate to the House in the wake of almost every other airport of similar volume and size in Canada developing independent authorities, why is the Yellowknife Airport being held back for...
