Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to move that clause 10 of Bill 25 be repealed and the following be substituted:

10. If a senior secondary education program is not offered in the education district in which a student resides and the student registers with a school in another education district that offers a senior secondary education program, the education body for the education district in which the student resides shall, in accordance with the direction of the Minister, provide the student with accommodation in the education district in which the student registers.

Just for clarification, Mr. Chairman. Senior secondary education, is this just in the Northwest Territories? Does it include anywhere that this program is offered,

or is it strictly in the territories?

Mr. Chairman, the intention was to be strictly with the Northwest Territories but we could, perhaps, ask legal counsel to clarify that is what would be accomplished by this motion.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe that the next clause that was deferred was clause 21 so, perhaps, we could go to that clause, please.

The Member has asked to go on to clause 21, which I believe has already been dealt with, but I believe we need to have unanimous consent to go to it. Do Members agree?
