Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to present a Petition 1-12(5). I gained signatures from 151 residents in Rankin Inlet. This petition is questioning the bus service for the communities, due to the harshness of the climate and the long distance that children have to walk to school. Madam Speaker, this summer, the children of Rankin will have to walk over two kilometres to get to school. Anyone else familiar with Rankin Inlet knows that such a walk could be very difficult. I know that the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment Programs has established guidelines and criteria that allow boards of education and community education councils to contract for bus services. The people of Rankin Inlet are looking forward to the introduction of this funding so that the children of Rankin Inlet can be provided with decent transportation to school. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
