Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at this point in time, because we just concluded a couple of days of meetings and we gave direction to the executive director, Mr. Fred Koe, to come up with looking at what kind of facilitators are out there. Hopefully, in the regions and in the communities that we could utilize to help us in making sure that there is proper consultation done at the community level and also looking at the schedules of the MLAs, which I mentioned the other day. We are all busy here in the House until the end of February perhaps, the way things are going, maybe into March, so our time is very scarce, and as a result of that we have to look at putting a team of consultation tour to go into the communities hopefully with Aboriginal Affairs staff and facilitators once we identify them. Hopefully if MLAs are available, that is also the most desirable team at this point in time, but exactly who is going to go where, we are still developing that plan of action. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary, Mr. Speaker, is there any consideration being given to the suggestion that a small impartial tour group be used to gather information and feedback from the communities?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at this point in time, the suggestion that the honourable Member is making could be utilized into how we formulate these teams. The idea here is to have a team that is very up and knowledgeable on the information that we have, so we will probably have some sort of a workshop for whoever is going to be going to the communities so that they are fully aware of all the documents that we have and any information that we have. At the same time, with giving out the necessary information, we have to have the type of people that will be capable of receiving the information so that we can bring it back, so what the honourable Member is suggesting is a type of a group that would be used. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the larger centres like Yellowknife and Inuvik and my region are pretty well assured that they will have participation in making responses to the tour groups. However, with the cost that is being identified to the party that is making the tour, travel costs, whatever, I wonder if the Minster can give us assurance that each and every community in my riding will have the opportunity to be visited by this tour group. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, because of the seriousness of this information, and the seriousness in which we take this process of trying to get information out to each and everybody that is in the western NWT, and we need to get the information from as many people in the community as we can, yes each community is identified to be visited by this team. Yes, I assure the honourable Member that the communities in his constituency, each community will be visited and that this information will be given to them. Hopefully, their reactions and comments will also be taken very seriously. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education, Mr. Dent. It is in regards to the Chief Julius School that was destroyed by fire in Fort McPherson over a year ago. The question that I would like to put to the Minister is, can I receive a copy of the insurance policy that is in place for the Chief Julius School that was destroyed in Fort McPherson?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there is no policy that relates specifically to that structure. The Government of the Northwest Territories has an overall insurance policy. I do not believe that the Department of Education has a copy of any insurance policy. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I reported to the House, I believe last week, at this point in time there have been no proceeds received from the insurance company. To the best of my knowledge, it will be another couple of months before we can expect to see any proceeds from the insurance. In terms of the list of assets that may have been consumed, I would expect that we would have received such a list from the Denominational Educational Council. I will have to look into that and get back to the Member as to whether or not such a list is available. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am not sure that we have any information within my department. My officials are working with the officials of this government who are responsible for the insurance policy to
assist in the determining what level of compensation the government will receive. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for my good friend, and from his earlier comments, a big fan of mine, Mr. Goo Arlooktoo, the Minister responsible for POL. Can the Minister update this House at this time on the proposal or the process for the privatization of POL? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
