Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I was pleased to second this motion only because I, too, believe that if you look at the whereas it’s about taking the time to investigate how prices are set, taking the time to see how they do it in all the communities and regions. I believe that we should listen to our people as well. People want to know and they want to be assured that they’re not being gouged at the pumps and I think that’s what this motion speaks about, to investigate and evaluate the possibility of regulating gasoline prices. I see no harm in that and I think we should use our resources...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Some of my constituents have contributed their talents and time to our territory over many years. Many of these residents have been awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. They include politicians, policemen, firefighters and respected elders, and I would like to recognize them today.

Firstly, my predecessor, Mr. Jim Antoine. He is a former MLA, Premier, Minister and a four time chief of the Liidlii Kue First Nation. I’m pleased to see him in the gallery here today.

Fort Simpson RCMP Sergeant Rob Gallant helped promote peace in volatile parts of the world...

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. The committee wishes to review Tabled Document 9-17(4), NWT Main Estimates, with a continuation of Education, Culture and Employment.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I’ll set a record by recognizing Mr. Jim Antoine in the House as well. Welcome to the Legislature, Jim, it’s a pleasure to see you, and once again, congratulations on your Diamond Jubilee medallion that you received earlier in the year.

Like I said, I had done a Member’s statement and had provided written questions to the House and upon receipt of the information as well as the commitment to share whatever information I had to my colleague Mr. Hawkins. I look forward to these details and trying to come up with some ideas of how to do things differently in order to achieve one of the priorities of our Assembly, which is to lower the cost of living in all our communities.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I think I’d done a Member’s statement on fuel delivery to the communities and trying to evaluate the best way to lower the cost of living. Because that’s one of the biggest single factors in the communities, is people depend on the heating fuel and the gasoline and the mode of diesel as well.

So I did ask some written questions, as well, and I’m kind of waiting on those responses. I’m just wondering if this department looked at alternative ways of getting fuel to the communities. I was kind of leaning towards exploring a subsidy so that the cost of the fuel is...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just one final, short question. Given the tragedy and the accident on Highway No. 1 last week, the Member for Deh Cho actually said it was a Health and Social Services van that went out there and took the injured person back to Fort Providence.

Does this kind of incident highlight the importance of a ground ambulance support system throughout the Northwest Territories with the Minister and this government? Thank you.

I know that in past Assemblies we were working on, I think it was the ambulance committee. Maybe the Minister can clarify exactly what committee that was. I thought we had some discussions about actually reactivating that committee. I think it was Health and Social Services, MACA and one other department. Anyway, can the Minister identify that committee again, and see if it will be activated for this Assembly, because we really have to address those gaps in our highway systems and saving people’s lives.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. It is my pleasure to recognize Ms. Stella Nadia, the deputy mayor of the Village of Fort Simpson, up in the gallery here today. I just want to say that she is a champion of the new pool in Fort Simpson as well as a tireless volunteer in Fort Simpson. Welcome and enjoy the proceedings this afternoon.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I would like to highlight some of the issues I have been challenged with, with regard to Education, Culture and Employment one more time, I guess.

One of the big issues this term, as MLA for Nahendeh, is to champion the small schools in our small communities, most particularly creating a new Trout Lake school. If anything, if the Minister could respond to general comments to what kind of plan he has moving forward, that would be great. I have the documentation for 2018, et cetera, but that’s not something that the leadership and myself want to hear. We’d really...
