Mr. Speaker, I move, second by the honourable Member for Thebacha, that Bill 25, An Act to Amend the Education Act, be read for the second time.
Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Education Act to provide the subject to regulation persons who are employed as superintendents are employed in the public service and makes corollary amendments to the Public Service Act to address the employment status of superintendents. This bill also clarifies the status of certain incumbent superintendents who would otherwise be affected by this amendment. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. To the principle of the bill.

Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, good afternoon.
I look forward to attending the 2014 Arctic Winter Games in Fairbanks, Alaska, next week. I am already so proud of our Team NWT athletes and coaches in how they have performed during their trials to qualify for the Games, and in how I know they will conduct themselves with good sportsmanship as representatives and ambassadors for the Northwest Territories.
I would like to wish good luck to all of our athletes as they compete at the Arctic Winter Games. I will be one of their best cheerleaders.
