Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, the Honourable Jake Ootes. In my Member's statement I explained how impact benefit agreements are modern day treaties and as such these agreements are protected under a Human Rights Act. Mr. Speaker, it can be said that it is a breach of the Human Rights Act for this department to claw back IBA payments from income support recipients. I would like to ask the Minister if his department has taken any steps to ensure that the claw backs do not violate the Human Rights Act. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
