Mr. Speaker, I think the education council was quite open to have this student attend their school. It was just a matter of a home boarding issue.

As a parent, we’re also responsible for our kids. Like, if I send my kid to another community, I feel responsible to support my kid through the transition. I think parents also need to play a part with this. I realize that parents are working out of town, but they need to make prior arrangements, prior arrangements before the school started, because they knew that policies were in place, they needed to work with the superintendent, the education...

I’d like to recognize a couple of young ladies here with us today from my Department of Justice: Rebecca Petrie, community justice intern, and also Dawn Anderson, who is seconded as manager of community justice program and projects. Thanks for coming.

Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the report that is before us is a comprehensive report and I certainly do appreciate all the hard work and input from the Members and also from the general public. I think it is something that we can certainly work with. It consists of recommendations brought forward for government to act on. So those are the discussions that we will certainly be having, Mr. Chair.

When I looked over the recommendations, some of the recommendations that we have worked on in the past, we continue to make improvements in our program delivery. So I would look at it as enhancing our...

Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I have Mark Aitken, director of legislation, and Gary MacDougall, director of legal registries. Mahsi, Mr. Chair.

Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I am pleased to be here to talk about Bill 12, Securities Transfer Act.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker. Further to my Return to Written Question 5-16(3), I wish to table the following document entitled North Slave Correctional Centre - Remand Statistics. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Certainly I can provide…My department can provide the information that’s available to the Members, not just from the Yellowknife Centre Member but all Members as well. We do have the facts in place, the discussion paper that’s been discussed at that time and where we’re going with it. Also, the board of governors meeting that we had, the minutes of the meeting, there’s been a paper trail that’s been documented, so we can certainly provide that to the Members.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. First of all I think we need to be proud of our northern college that we have here in the North, the three campuses that we have. I would consider them as a college and also a university because we do deliver university programs, degree programs that we’re actively pursuing and other programs as well. So with the standalone university, I think we already see that in the Northwest Territories. Every time we meet with the board of governors, certainly that topic of discussion has been discussed and it’s part of a long-term planning basis for the whole Northwest Territories...

Mahsi, Mr. Chair. I have Mark Aitken, director of legislation. Mahsi, Mr. Chair.
