Item 5: Oral Questions

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. This is also regarding sexual abuse. I have a question for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. The high

incidence of child sexual abuse is of great concern to all of us. One of the tools we can use in the fight against this type of abuse is prevention education. Children need to know that it is okay to say no and to understand what kinds of things are not acceptable, from either strangers or family members.

Some education districts, such as Yellowknife Education District No. 1, are offering excellent ongoing programs which help children prevent sexual abuse and recognize bad situations. Is this type of program offered across the NWT? Thank you, Madam Speaker.
