Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is concerning the elimination of religious classes in both Princess Alexandra and the Harry Camsell schools in Hay River. During the review of committee report 11-12(7) and report on the review of Bill 25, Education Act, in June 1995, the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment stated as an Ordinary Member referring to the Yellowknife Catholic School. Just for the record, I want to say that I strongly support their right to offer Catholic based education.
Given the Minister's previous support for the right to offer spiritual education, will he consider allowing Hay River to reinstate a spiritual education program in the Princess Alexandra and Harry Camsell schools? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
