Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the Minister indicate then whether the results were collated by region, is that too specific a question?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the report the results are not reported by region, by specific region. It is taken as an indication of how schools seem to be performing in this area in general. There is a comparison in the report to how respondents see schools in their region comparing to other schools in the NWT. But the specific results by region are not broken up. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the Member indicate whether the document he has held up will in fact be a document available for public consumption, and will it also be used as a planning tool? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, this is a public summary. We had intended to make a summary of the report public, and not necessarily the detailed one, largely because of the cost of distributing the extra number of pages. But the intent is that the report can be available to those who have need to use it and the public summary will be widely distributed and completely public by the end.

Mr. Speaker, I didn't catch the last part of the Minister's answer, but I would also like to know, maybe he did answer when will that document be available?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday I spoke in recognition of national firefighting week. In reference to my statement, I would like to ask The Minister of MACA if there have been any cuts to the budget regarding the volunteer fire fighters, with regard to their training. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The funding for the program in 1996/97 is $200,000, and the scope of the program for this year will be to concentrate on training, along with additional basic fire training as requested by the communities so we are doing some training work with the volunteers at the community level. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I realize that at the community level this is a very important initiative. We value the fire fighters and we are doing everything we can to assist them in their training. I will get back to the Member with the details on the cuts. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 475-13(3): Causes Of Fatalities In Correctional Centres

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Justice. In the last few years, not last year but the year before, there were cases of deaths in some correctional centres.
My question to the Minister is that people that have died in the correctional facilities. I am sure the families of those people would like to know the reasons for the deaths and how they died. I wonder if the staff has checked to see what the causes were, and in the future will they be looking into the reasons why there were these deaths in the corrections facilities? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am not positive there have been any deaths in correctional facilities. However, I will check into that, and if it were to happen, of course it is a very serious matter, in the respect that those individuals will have been incarcerated under our jurisdiction. Since it would be our responsibility, I would assume that there would be a full investigation into the reasons behind it. And all Members, all family members and individuals concerned would be notified because of that.
Mr. Speaker, I know that there have been some deaths in RCMP cells, if that is what the honourable Member is referring to. Again, because of the fact that those individuals are under custody, in those circumstances a coroner's inquest is held to determine the causes of death. Of course, with that there is a full public inquiry process that takes place with those inquests, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
