My question is: could this training be made available to all Members of the Legislative Assembly?

Quyanainni, Mr. Speaker. Earlier, I spoke about residential schools and reports of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. My questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. My question is: have you implemented mandatory training for teachers and Education, Culture, and Employment staff on residential schools?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I would like to talk about the impacts of residential schools in the NWT. Residential schools have taken language, culture, and lives of many Aboriginal people who have passed on. Many of them are here with us today. Through the work of many initiatives of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, the TRC, the reality of those tragedies are brought more and more into focus. As Canadians move forward in a way to leave the past behind and create forgiveness and cultural respect for the future of Aboriginal people in Canada, as leaders we must take the lead...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to thank everyone for all the hard work on the mandate and I know the Standing Committee on Priorities and Planning has been working hard to make some changes. I look forward to moving forward and getting to work on the issues, as it's been a late election so we're left a little bit behind. We have a little bit of work ahead of us. I know I see some of the stuff on climate change and the environment, which I'm pretty fond of, as well as culture and education. I look forward to working with the Ministers in the smaller communities, as well as employment and the...

The Government of Canada has recently made an announcement about the National Disaster Mitigation Program. Could this be a solution for Tuktoyaktuk?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. Shoreline erosion has been affecting the community of Tuktoyaktuk for some time. Mr. Speaker, my question is how long has the department been aware of this issue? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what other types of funding and support from the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs are available to support Tuktoyaktuk if they want to address shoreline erosion? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

My second question is what options are available to the Hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk to help them address the issues of shoreline erosion?

Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I will talk about the community of Tuktoyaktuk and the major changes to come in the next 10 to 20 years. Shoreline erosion has major effects on the housing infrastructure, as well as some of the roads in the community completely flooded during the fall storms. This has since eroded the shoreline on the northwest side of the community, and if there are no action plans in place some homes will collapse into the ocean, which will result in families and the GNWT losing much-needed homes. This will also create environmental issues, as a majority of...

How did Education, Culture and Employment determine which areas of employment to focus their efforts on?
