Mr. Chairman, on April 5th the Standing Committee on Agencies, Boards and Commissions tabled its report on the review of the Second Annual Report of the Commissioner of Official Languages. The report was read in its entirety to the House at that time. In her report, the Languages Commissioner made five recommendations and these recommendations were responded to by the Standing Committee on Agencies, Boards and Commissions.
The standing committee did not make any formal recommendations of its own in their report, so I would like to submit this report...or it has been submitted and it's available now for discussion if any Members wish to address components of the report. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, colleagues. On March 30, 1995 the Standing Committee on Legislation tabled Committee Report 6-12(7), Report on the Review of the Legislative Discussion Paper on the Draft of the New Education Act. The report has been read into the record. The standing committee was generally very pleased with the direction proposed in the draft legislation. Although some minor revisions and adjustments were anticipated, the committee felt that the foundation for improving education in the north was presented. The committee was especially supportive of the move to vest communities with the additional responsibilities and authorities for education. This will allow community and regional priorities and differences to be reflected in education programming, while maintaining the quality and standards of a core curriculum.
As Members are aware, Bill 25, the proposed new Education Act, has been introduced and the Standing Committee on Legislation is about to embark on its public review of this important bill. This is a responsibility and a challenge that we welcome, Mr. Chairman, and we look forward to a constructive and rewarding review process that will ultimately benefit all residents of the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, colleagues. As Members will recall, Committee Report 3-12(7), Report on the Review of the Legislative Action Paper Proposing New Heritage Legislation for the Northwest Territories, has been read into the record in its entirety. Therefore, I would like to briefly say that during the standing committee's review of the paper, a number of issues were identified and were presented in the report.
Generally, the committee felt that further consultation between the government and land settlement groups is warranted, with respect to the opinions for the designation of heritage resources on settlement lands. In addition, questions of jurisdictions, ownership and display of heritage objects and the preservation of oral histories and traditional knowledge need to be addressed through meaningful consultation as this legislation is developed.
Mr. Chairman, the committee felt that the government has made a strong beginning towards addressing the urgent need for new heritage legislation. While there's a need for further consultation in the drafting of this legislation, the committee is satisfied that the basis for the protection and preservation of our heritage resources has been presented. This is the report, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
