I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories provides a comprehensive response to this report in 120 days.

Mr. Chair, I move that the committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories provide a comprehensive response to this report within 120 days. Thank you.

I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories continues to move forward with the concept of a service-based model as suggested in the proposed Official Languages Services Act.

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that when the Department of Education, Culture and Employment plans and designs a new program or initiative, that it identify the means to be used to assess, measure and report the program or initiative. Thank you.

I move that this committee recommends that the Minister responsible for Official Languages improves communications with the Aboriginal Languages Revitalization Board and the Official Languages Board or any future language board or committee, and provides written confirmation to the boards and to the Standing Committee on Government Operations with regard to departmental follow-through on the boards’ recommendations.

I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment reviews the Aboriginal Language and Culture-Based Education Directive as well as the Inclusive Schooling Directive in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of both initiatives.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today in support of the motion for the provision of respite care services. I would like to thank the Yellowknife Association for Community Living for their wonderful pamphlet they provided and I was able to read through it.

I do concur there are so many success stories for the 29 families here in Yellowknife. However, like my colleague Mr. Krutko had indicated, in the regions and communities, our stories are much different. We do have the same needs and our families do have needs. In one of my communities there was a disabled child that could not stay in that...

I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment accept all the recommendations contained in the Auditor General’s Report on Education in the Northwest Territories and proceed with an action plan to address these recommendations.

Mr. Speaker, I certainly would like to see some of the analysis that she is talking about, because I am not really convinced that a thorough analysis was done. If the Minister will share that with me, and also I would just let her know that that is something I would like to share with residents of Fort Liard and the band council, the Metis Council as well as the Hamlet Council and maybe advise me, too, what she doesn’t want to share. I don’t believe I have actually seen that analysis, Mr. Speaker. Thank you very much.

I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories provides a comprehensive response to this report within 120 days.
