Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that clause 84 of Bill 25 be amended by
(a) repealing proposed paragraph (3)(a) and by substituting the following:
(a) shall, by regulation, allocate to that commission scolaire francophone de division all of the powers and duties set out in (i) section 117, except paragraph (I) (v) and (ii) section 118; and (b) repealing proposed subsection (4) and by time. For instance, what if the current conseil in Yellowknife,
(4) A member of commission scolaire francophone de division is not liable for the loss or damage caused by anything done or not done by him or her in good faith in the exercise of his or her powers or in the performance of his or her duties.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. The motion is in order. We're just circulating the amendment, as I speak.
Okay, all the Members have a copy of the amendment. It is the yellow page. There were two documents circulated at the same time; the white page is something else.

The amendment removes section (1)(b), the ability to create themselves, and then adds the clarification on liability. That's what it does.

Clause 84, as amended. The chair recognizes the Member for Yellowknife Frame Lake, Mr. Dent.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, clause 84.(1) reads "Where two or more conseils scolaires francophones exist, the conseils may, on meeting the requirements of the regulations, request the Minister to establish a commission." I would like the Minister to perhaps explain why there was a need to have two or more conseils and address the issue of ensuring the bill stands the test of over the course of the next 20 years, builds to the point where they have hundreds of students; because there is only one conseil, would they still be restricted to not being able to become a commission?

Maybe I will ask Ms. Joyce to add further clarification on this, but if there was a situation where they had more students, based on their responsibility, they would have more than once school under them and, therefore, would have more than one conseil. So, that would be taken care of in that situation. I would ask Ms. Joyce to additionally clarify this matter, for the information of the honourable Member, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This clause also reflects the 1992 agreement that we made with the board of
education and with the Yellowknife French Parents' Association on behalf of the Franco-Tenoise. The intent of this was to allow progressive governance; to allow the conseils to gather numbers so that they could become a commission and take on more authority. As the Minister described, if their numbers increased in one community, there could be more than one conseil because there would be more than one school. This also allows conseils from different communities to agree to work together and petition the Minister for a commission. It's an enabling clause, as opposed to a barrier. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
