Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a written question to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.
1. There has been an increase of 7.92 percent, 7.12 percent and 3.13 percent in school enrolment in Aklavik, Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic respectively since October, 1997. Has there been an increase or decrease in the number of teachers in these communities since October, 1997?
2. How many of those teachers are specifically trained in the implementation of the most effective strategies for educating FAS/FAE students?
3. What initiatives are being carried out to ensure the Healthy Children Initiative is adequately addressing the specific needs of children with FAS/FAE in the Northwest Territories?
