Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education. It is in regard to the statements that we have been hearing in regard to the incident in Fort MacPherson where there was a teacher supposedly run out of town in which he had to live in a tent. Basically, the statements we are hearing on the radio sound like a real novel in regard to where things were at and what was happening with myself being involved in a situation where I was talking with people at the local education council, the teachers, the president of the teachers federation in regard to what was happening there. I think that in light of the incident that did occur, there is still a shortage of teachers in the community, and there is still a need to assist students who may be having some tough times in regard to violence that is occurring in the classrooms. It is not only happening in the Mackenzie Delta, but it is happening elsewhere in the Northwest Territories. My question to the Minister is, what has his department done to alleviate the problem in Fort MacPherson to assist the community with the incident that did occur? Also, the filling of those vacancies in Fort MacPherson at this time?
