Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are already doing that through the Justice department but we cannot do that if we just take, for example, the South Slave Correctional Centre which is a warehousing facility for inmates and take them to a warehousing facility in Fort Resolution. Preferably we do them as a healing centre and we have the proper programs in there where people can be rehabilitated, people can take training, people can take the proper programs they need. It should be run by aboriginal people for aboriginal people because they can communicate better. Also, it should be a healing centre, that's very important. We have to stop the circle of people continually going back into our institutions. That's the way I would prefer to see it. The process is in place already and it already is off to a start, so we just have to continue down that same road. Thank you.

Thank you. Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you. Mr. Rabesca is the last person. Do we have any other people who wish to ask questions of the candidates who didn't ask their four questions? You could do it, or we can say that there .are no longer any questions and we can move along to the next process. Do we have any further questions? Are we ready to go to the votes? I'll ask the Clerk to ring the bells to get all the Members in so they can get their instructions together, then we will go on with the next process and carry on, or we could finish after this process is over.

---Ringing of bells

I would like to thank Members for coming back. By way of process, I anticipate that we are going to have only one ballot and that we don't have to go for a second ballot. So both sides will receive their ballots and cast their votes.

---Voting by Members

By way of the process, I think some of the Members were asking how this is done. For the last four Assemblies, when we have elected Premier, it was the Clerk who did the counting and no one knew the numbers. We only knew who the winners were. I don't know the numbers either, but I will open the envelope now.

I declare, at this time, that Mr. Don Morin is your new Premier.

---Applause

Thank you. I would like to ask Donnie if he wishes to say a few short remarks before we adjourn for the day.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would just like to say to Members thank you very much for your support. I will try my best to do my job for as long as you want to keep me here. I will do exactly what I said today; I will treat all Members fairly; I will work well with you. I will treat you with respect. All I ask is that you give me the same. We have a hard job ahead of us. If we work as a team and we use a team approach, we will make the North a better place to live. With that, I wish you all the best of luck tomorrow for those who are running for Cabinet. I look forward to working with you all over the next four years. Mahsi cho. Thank you.

---Applause

The committee will resume tomorrow morning at 9:30. It has been a long day. Tomorrow we will have the election of Cabinet Members. I would like to thank the Pages and the staff for staying an extra half hour. Have a good evening.

---Applause
