Mr. Chairman, I would just like to quickly touch on some of the issues that I will bring up under the appropriate activity. As with education, there is a significant concern about demonstrable inter-departmental cooperation that I do not think is there yet. I have a question about the package of information and the revised goals that were in the package. What I have here is a goal statement. I just need some clarification from the Minister or the deputy. It speaks mainly to children's issues, but I am not sure whether these are the revised performance measures that were promised. It talks about goal statements, goal outcomes and outcome measures. For example, children of the Northwest Territories will be well cared for. That is the type of performance measures I will have questions on under the appropriate activity.

I am somewhat confused as well by the package of information and the children and youth strategy, as well as the agenda for children and youth and working together. I am not quite sure of the linkage. As well, of course, the Minister promised to table the response to the forum, as well as the Child Welfare League information. Given that today is Tuesday and that there are only three days left in the week and they all link together, I have a concern that they will be tabled probably Friday or some such time, when there is absolutely no chance to respond and we will swan off in our different directions. The tabled documents will sit there until fall.

As well, of course, I have a significant number of questions I want to ask, regarding recruitment and retention, the lapsed money. Aboriginal nurses are begging for education leave, even though you are lapsing $100,000, the compartmentalization of that program. It is tied to education leave, these self-imposed fire walls if you will, between these different pots of money, even though there is voted in one pot by the Legislature. Why? Why are nurses not able to go to school? The comment about $20,000 and it is oversubscribed, when you look at the broad picture and the critical nature of the retention issue, it is something I have questions about.

So those are some of the major concerns I have questions about, but I will keep my questions for the appropriate activity. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
