Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I was indicating, there were concerns about the fact that there is a lot of legislation that should be happening and perhaps is being put on the back burner because we are preparing for Nunavut. There is also concern brought forward by people who were involved in the transfer of the Arctic airports, who are supposed to be getting an update on the special equalization packages. It seems as though there is a problem and they are hoping that the ministry can make some movement on this soon because it appears as though there is a July 1st deadline.
There also was a concern brought forward that federal inmates should be repatriated and the Social Programs Committee had been looking at this last year and perhaps, it is time this issue was brought back to light since it does not seem as though the department has done much since they basically told us that it should be left to the communities and the federal government. Nothing seems to be happening. There was also a concern brought forward about the amendments to outfitters regulations. It appears as though most of the outfitters are against the changes of the regulations. This issue will not go away. There are the Workers' Compensation Board amendments that were considered, which was brought up here last session, the last time we were sitting by the Member for Yellowknife South, myself and others. People are wondering if the amendment is actually going to occur so that it is no longer possible for the Workers' Compensation Board to sue employees to recover costs for various things. There also was a concern from a retired teacher, well he is no longer teaching, he brought up concerns about education, but he was also very concerned about youths. He would like to see more things being done for youths. We certainly agree with that. One other area, there was another person who come up with the need for legislation in the diving area. There were several different areas that were brought up where the legislation is lacking or there is no legislation. It does seem to be a great concern of our constituents that more legislation be put into place. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
