Thank you. That was your last supplementary. Mr. Whitford.

Thank you. Item 6, Oral Questions. Mr. Ningark.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This will be my last question for the day. I must go to the airport to pick up my family. My question is for the Minister responsible for Housing. First of all, I would like to commend the Minister in meeting the many demands that are placed upon his shoulders, especially in the area of providing social housing. It is no small task to keep up with the enormous population growth.

Mr. Speaker, when I travel to my communities I am told that the building materials arrive in late summer, but are not used until the next year. I would like to know if the Minister could check into this matter and find out why the houses are not built the same year the materials arrive? Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand that in some communities in the eastern Arctic and the communities off the highway have a two-year delivery system. This is where you work on the pads the first year and you get the material into the community, and then you get an early start in the spring of the next year on those units. This rotates so that the community does not lose any housing. I will prepare a full briefing for the Member. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 6, Oral Questions. Mr. Gargan.

Mr. Kakfwi.

The Member is taking the question as notice. Item 6, Oral Questions. Member for Thebacha.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Education. Mr. Speaker, recently I wrote to the Minister of Education with respect to a concern of the South Slave Divisional Board's ability to manage the Lutsel K'e residence for students in Fort Smith. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated to the Minister, the divisional board had entered into two group home contracts at which the group home parents were suspended. According to legal advice they were suspended for unjust cause. I know this has caused a lot of stress to these group home parents. The divisional board has set up an independent committee of divisional board members to look at this.

I would like to ask the Minister if he would consider that this independent committee also allows for people to be part of this committee are not parties of interest to the South Slave Divisional Board. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Arvaluk.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No action has been taken. There has been no suspension whatsoever. That has been deferred. However, we are having the department and the divisional board to look into the situation further and will advise as to what action needs to be taken. I will then be in a position to follow up on the Member's request. Thank you.

Supplementary, Member from Thebacha.

Mr. Speaker, I do not know where the Minister is getting his information, saying there has been no action taken. The Lutsel K'e South Slave Divisional Board in Lutsel K'e suspended the two group home parents as of October 30 for a two week period which should have been concluded November 13. However, they have since found it necessary to extend the suspension to November 20, pardon me, as of November 20. Therefore, there have been suspensions made, as I indicated earlier. Since the suspension, there has been in my opinion, no independent committee to review why this action was taken.

Therefore, I am asking the Minister to make a commitment to consider an independent committee that does not have interest in the South Slave Divisional Board when they are making this decision. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Arvaluk.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We might have a different understanding. I understand that there was a recommendation by the divisional board to suspend the house parents, but I am told by the department that a recommendation has not yet been accepted to date to suspend them. I will look into this situation to find out which one of us is correct. Naturally, I would not say that the Member is wrong just because I have different information. Another point that I think would be very important to note with regard to the Member's question is that this residence is a residence for Lutsel K'e students and I would want to involve the parents of the Lutsel K'e to give me a direction, and to give the divisional board direction as to what action should be taken on this because these are the children of Lutsel K'e. Thank you.

Thank you. Supplementary, Member for Thebacha.

I agree, Mr. Speaker, that he should allow the parents to participate in the discussions that affect their children but, at the same time, I am concerned about the effect that this has on my constituents. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister -- and he still has not answered my initial question -- since a suspension has taken place, on October 30, these group home parents have moved from the home. A director from the South Slave Divisional Board has replaced one group home parent, the assistant director for the South Slave Divisional Board has replaced another group home parent and they decided to set up a committee to review this whole issue. I am asking the Minister if he would make a commitment to me, to this House, when they set up this independent committee, to make sure that there are other people other than the South Slave Divisional Board parties of this committee, so that it is a totally independent and fair committee? Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Arvaluk.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will consult with the South Slave Divisional Board, recommend the Member's concern and express to them the Member's concern regarding the independency of the review.

Thank you. Item 6, Oral Questions. New question, Member for Thebacha.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister of Renewable Resources a question with regard to the comments that my colleague from Deh Cho has brought forth on hunting along the corridors. Mr. Speaker, the Minister indicated that three summary tickets were issued, and eight warning tickets were issued. Can the Minister tell this House what is a summary ticket and what is a warning ticket?
