I guess it's for the entire section, from 79 to 96, but since this is the last one for district education authorities, I would like to ask the question, although I should have asked it up front. With this, the Minister will establish a district education authority. I would just like to ask the Minister, how many of these district education authorities there will be. Thank you.

Thank you. One for each district.

---Laughter

No, we define district as communities, that's how we address it. There may be other circumstances, but generally speaking, that's what it is for, communities.

Just a further question. If you have a district education authority in each community, is there going to be a larger unit above that to pull them all together for each region? Is there a divisional district education authority, and is that going to be the same as what we have; the same jurisdiction as we currently have now? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, it's our intention to maintain the divisions as they are. It is clear that as we go through the act, you will see that we're giving more responsibility and more authority to the divisions, as well.

Thank you. With regard to clause 96 whereby we talk about district education authority, where there is a private school in the community, denominational school, community school; you could have three districts in one community if you have a private school, denominational school and another school. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I can advise the honourable Member that DEAs are not responsible for private schools. I can be very clear about that. On the other hand, there certainly can be two district education authorities; one for a public school and one for a denominational school, similar to that of the experience here in Yellowknife, for instance.
