Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know that Yellowknife Education District No. 1 has expressed some concern about the elimination of the superintendent from the suspension process. Their contention is that this merely eliminates another possible avenue which is currently often used to resolve student difficulties before the student is removed from the school. I'm just wondering if the Minister has considered this, and I know that I've suggested to the Minister that we consider amending the bill to put the superintendent back in. I'm just wondering if the Minister would concur with that kind of amendment.

We may already have it in here, so just give us a second to check a couple of other clauses that may respond to the concern of the honourable Member. Maybe it I could have Ms. Joyce, respond. I believe it's under clause 36.(b)(i).

Maybe we could get the witness just to confirm that, then we'll return to 35. Ms. Joyce.

Mr. Chairman, we did recognize the superintendent --as the Minister is noting --specifically under the expulsion clause, under 36.(1), as the Yellowknife school district requested, because that is actually the practice.
Also under 35.(4) where it states that if a student is suspended for more than five consecutive days, the district education authority or the principal shall designate a person to contact the student. That person could indeed be the superintendent.
The superintendent is also identified under paragraph (5), stating the "...superintendent of the suspension and the reasons for the suspension." Thank you.

To be perfectly clear, are we hearing that the concerns that would be addressed by the amendment that I was proposing to bring the superintendent back in is not necessary because the superintendent is already recognized in there? Could I just get a really clear answer so I can point
to it when Yellowknife Education District No. 1 asks me whether or not that concern has been dealt with?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, we have the superintendent identified wherever we can in a consistent manner, but we can't have the superintendent identified as the specific designate for suspension because in all districts; for example, in a division, the superintendent may not be available, each district doesn't have a superintendent like Yellowknife does, but we've written the clauses in such a manner that it can be applied in Yellowknife if the superintendent is that designated person.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Hearing it that clearly in the House, we now have some assurances for the local school boards that they can follow through with their current practice, which is what they wanted. I think that will deal with the concern and allow some certainty to the boards.
