Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. I was having a chat with my 25-year-old daughter the other day and not that she was a top student, but she was bemoaning the fact to me that she’s 25 years old, she’s a young adult, she’s living here in the North and she doesn’t know much about savings, budgeting, credit, banking and that she feels that she should have maybe learned something about that in school. Now, I know there’s a role for parents to play, too, in teaching these things, but I’d like seriously to ask the Minister of Education...

Thank you, Minister Lafferty. Education and culture, operations expenditure summary, $244.200 million.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just before we came into the House today, my colleague from Hay River North took me to a website on his computer which indicated a gentleman who has set up a special kind of Hansard, and in that Hansard you can put in key words and it tells you how many times those words were mentioned by certain Members.

I was dismayed to realize that my colleague has mentioned Hay River 40 more times than I have during this session.
