Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just prior to returning to the Legislature this time, I was approached by a number of my constituents with respect to a long standing tradition in the community of Hay River and that is the provision of religious instruction in the schools. On February 23, 1998, a letter was received by the divisional education councils and district education authorities from the Minister. The first sentence reads, recently a concern has been raised that some schools may be providing religious instruction. This is in contravention to the Education Act. Mr. Chairman, the people of Hay River felt that this tradition had been addressed when the new Act was being drafted. At that time, a local survey was taken which indicated a very strong, majority response for the provision of this instruction in the school. During the discussions, previous to today, and today the Minister has repeatedly said that it is up to the local community to choose their priorities. A motion was passed by the community education council at one point which said, "I move that the Hay River area community education council support the status quo of offering religion in the schools." That was moved and seconded and carried at the community level. My question on behalf of my constituents to the Minister is, this concern that was raised in this subsequent letter that went out to all directors, councils, superintendents, and district education authorities, how is this compatible with freedom of local education authorities to implement areas in education which are part of their tradition? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
