Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question. Some of the wording seems a little bit unclear. Perhaps I could ask the Minister, under clause 1.(2)(c), reference is made to a "written agreement." I wonder if he could give me an example of who the parties might be to such a written agreement.

Whitehouse

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A written agreement of this nature could be an agreement between a parent and any other person who agrees to have custody of a student during the term of the school year. For example, if someone moves out of a community, and a child wishes to remain as a student to finish their year, the parent could enter into a written agreement with another adult to have custody of the student for the remainder of the year. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

We currently have aboriginal teachers in this system; do they fall under the category of teacher or teacher intern? Does that cover them?

Would it be feasible to add the words "aboriginal teachers" in there under teacher interns?

I should be clear. I meant aboriginal language teachers, not aboriginal teachers. That's who I'm referring to.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The definition of teachers and teacher interns include all aspects of teaching. It includes the aboriginal language teachers. They hold special certificates, but are included in the definition because it is a broad definition and incorporates them. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was a little confused when we started this bill here because I was on page 1 of the act and it starts with the preamble. I have a lot of comments to make on the preamble, and I'm just wondering when we'll have a chance to speak to the preamble. Is the preamble a part of the act?

The Chair Tony Whitford

Thank you, Mr. Koe. Your concerns will be addressed. The preamble will be dealt with at the end. We're dealing with clauses, and then we will deal with the preamble. That's the format we'll be using. It's part of the act. Mr. Koe.

Fred Koe Inuvik

Thank you. I have some problems with that because the preamble comes at the start of the act and it's my belief that it sets the stage and the basis for a lot of the clauses and the underlying concepts in the act. The comments I

wanted to make dealing with the preamble are going to question a lot of the clauses in the act, so once we get to that, I'll be referring to the preamble. It won't make sense because, unless we discuss the preamble at the start, things seem out of balance. I'm just questioning why we're leaving the preamble to the end.
