Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister speaks about the assessment of the problem being highly technical and scientific. I'm just wondering if the department or the Minister has any plans to provide people who have this problem with information that they can easily understand. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for the NWT Housing Corporation with respect to my Member’s statement. I spoke about mould. It really poses a serious health problem and given that, the problem seems to be increasing with time. I just wonder if the government or the department has an existing policy in place to address this growing problem. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight is pleased to provide its report on the review of Bill 6, An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act, 1993 and the Income Tax Act.

The committee held public hearings on May 20 and 21, 2004, in Yellowknife. The committee would like to thank the NWT Seniors’ Society for their presentation, and the NWT Chamber of Commerce, NWT and Nunavut Chamber of Mines and the NWT Construction Association for their joint written submission. The committee would also like to thank the Minister and his staff for presenting the bill.

Mr. Speaker, thank you very much. My final question is certainly the government is aware of the problem that exists in my riding, and probably other communities as well.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Minister of Justice. Recently it was brought to my attention that the RCMP detachment in Fort Simpson is considering a reduction in staff. This is a huge concern to me and my constituents. Here we have a riding, my riding, that is poised for economic growth and, of course, the negative affects that come with it. Of course, the Fort Simpson detachment services four satellite communities of Nahanni Butte, Jean Marie, Trout Lake and Wrigley. I would just like to know if the Minister is aware of the RCMP in this regard in reducing the staff of...

Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. I certainly would have liked to take the time to read out the names of every one of these students, but the list is too long. They all have done very well and are all deserving of individual recognition. That being said, that is a good thing, Mr. Speaker. Still I have no doubt that in the future we will see even more people from the Nahendeh riding improving their lives and their communities through education. I am confident that when I stand in the House next spring to recognize our graduates, the number of students having successfully completed their studies will...
