Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to make reference to the direction of improving the Education Act called, "Voices." I understand that this document has been translated and distributed, also. Of the distribution that you did, how many actual responses did you get with regard to this document?

Madam Speaker, I can indicate that copies of the document were sent to all the chiefs and councils, all the hamlets, CECs, board of education, community organizations, et cetera. I don't know all of them, but they were sent.

On the matter of the detail of how many were received, I will have to take that portion of the question and provide additional information to the honourable Member.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, September 23rd to the 25th, we were in Taloyoak and we saw several boxes of these documents in translation form as well as in English sitting in the hamlet office. One of the boxes wasn't open. The other one might have had one copy taken. I am concerned that even though a lot of copies are sent to the major organizations, the people who are directly affected by the new act aren't getting the information. Does the Minister double check to ensure the documents that are sent to these major organizations are not sitting on a shelf somewhere and they are being distributed to the communities.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am always under the impression that you have to have some faith in the organizations in the communities to distribute the documentation. It is part of the letters that are sent. It is up to them to help us distribute the documentation. We rely on their support and advice on the matter.
