Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is addressed to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. It is in relation to local district education authorities. In Fort Smith a request has been made to the Minister by the band and Metis to look at moving from an elected to a permanent board. This issue also came up in my constituency meeting a while back. I indicated, in my opinion, it was an issue that had to be addressed through the DEA and at the community level, through an extensive consultation process before any further steps could take place. However, I would like the Minister to clarify the process that would be required, if in fact any changes were going to be made to the

board structure? Thank you.
