I thank the Minister for that information. My residents will surely enjoy that. Mr. Speaker, as I was driving on this highway, close to Bouvier Creek there is a sign that says "turn," and then, as you are turning, there is another sign that says "slow down to 70 km/hr." We are getting used to it, but a lot of tourists are not. Will the Minister look at this and actually revert the signs to show that you have to slow down as you are turning?

Thank you and I thank the Minister for the commitment to work with the community on that. With the Fort Simpson Territorial Park and site there, I notice we're doing some work with the roadways and it's greatly appreciated, and the signs, but is the department looking at completing the brushing in that area? Because there are certain areas that it's really blocked up. It's the Fort Simpson Territorial Park, it's on page 40. Are they going to be looking at clearing up the brush there so it's clean? It will help eliminate wildlife walking through there. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Speaker, today I would like to speak about a constituent who recently passed away, Mr. Louis Tsetso. Louis was born in 1957 and spent his entire life in and around Fort Simpson.

Louis was a man of the land. He loved spending as much time as he could on the land. His most desired activity was the spring hunt. He was avid about being on the land in the springtime when everything came to life. His brother George will tell you this was the joy of his life.

Beyond his love for nature, Louis was a craftsman. He has made traditional puzzles composed of 10 pieces or more. These skills were passed...

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. When he talks about re-evaluating, how are we going to able to justify the numbers that are going through there? I guess the question is: how are they going to re-evaluate the importance of having a VIC centre in there if they don't have somebody checking the numbers? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Minister for that answer. I guess my next question is: are we going to change this program, instead of calling it Small Community Employment Support Program, to "job creation" or "job support program for the Northwest Territories?" Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I thank the Minister for his answer. I will take his word that there is no report there, then. However, during the exchange with the Minister and the honourable Member for Deh Cho, we heard that previous funding which was allocated for small communities was not fully utilized. We made a significant increase, influx, of money to the program so that we could create employment and small programs. During the exchange, we heard the department is looking at communities such as Behchoko, Hay River, Inuvik, Fort Simpson, Fort Smith, and Norman Wells to be allocated to apply for these funds. Can the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the Minister for his answer. Mr. Speaker, I understand the department is also currently working on the funding and accountability framework for Aurora College. How can work on accountability framework proceed when potential fundamental changes to the college are being contemplated? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I thank the Minister for his words. I don't know that he answered my question, but we'll move on to my next one. Mr. Speaker, I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to throw the baby out with the bathwater. If something isn't working, I try to fix it. What did the department and Aurora College do to address the issues identified in these programs before they proposed eliminating them altogether?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize two constituents of mine, Kristen Tanche and, of course, my daughter Jenny Thompson, who are both part of the social work program. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I, too, would like to thank the Minister and his staff for making presentations to us during committee meetings and to answer some questions. I am going to talk about a few things about what is not in here, but what needs to be in here.

We talked about junior kindergarten and upgrades, especially the playground fencing on the work sites. I understand that the department has developed a priority with washrooms and that. However, we are talking about safety. We are talking about young kids, and if they have access to these other playgrounds, the potential situation of I...
