Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This motion is about an adult education centre, Hay River Reserve.
WHEREAS adults living on the Hay River Reserve are required to attend Arctic College day classes at the Chief Sunrise Elementary School;
AND WHEREAS adult students and younger students alike find this current arrangement to be a disruptive influence on their studies;
AND WHEREAS the Hay River Reserve Band has held discussions with Arctic College with an eye to utilizing the old band office for next fall's school term;
AND WHEREAS a more desirable long-term solution would be to establish a permanent adult education centre for the Hay River Reserve;
NOW THEREFORE, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Deh Cho, that this Legislative Assembly recommends that the Minister of Education include an adult education centre for the Hay River Reserve when developing the department's five-year capital plan.
