Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, I thought we were well on our way with the reinstatement of policing services in Sachs Harbour. We were hoping we can hit other communities, but it looks like that is not being achieved through this government.

I would like to ask the Minister if he would seriously bring forward any recommendations or suggestions by way of improving policing services or similar type services to those 10 communities that don’t have policing services, but improve the systems we have to give the residents of those communities some assurances that their well-being will also be taken...

Agreed. We’ll move to page 10-13, Education, Culture and Employment, directorate and administration, activity summary, operations expenditure summary, $10.219 million. Agreed? Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question to the Minister is around exclusive schooling but it’s more in line with the Member’s statement, the Member for Nunakput, in regard to students that have to go away from their home communities in which they have to attend a school in regional centres and are basically put in a situation that they have to go to home boarding.
