Mr. Speaker, I'm not sure what the honourable Member wants me to put in writing other than what I have just stated. I did state that I meet with the boards on a consistent basis and we mentioned yesterday that we are on a continual process of better and better accountability of reporting, Mr. Speaker. We are determined to ensure that that transpires. I'll see what I can get in terms of information on this for the Member and we'll provide that as soon as we can get it available. Thank you.

Your final supplementary question, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. He is saying he'll get me information but he really doesn't know what I am asking for. What I am trying to do is; I think we have an obligation, when we are increasing funding for special needs, to do the best we can with the money. Would the Minister give me information that tells me where the money has gone to, what was expected of it and how it was spent? Thank you.

Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Ootes.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Those questions are clear and we'll do our best to provide that. Thank you.

Item 6, oral questions. Member for Hay River North, Mr. Delorey.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In keeping with my questions there before, I would like to ask the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs again, on the issue of service medals, does the Minister or the department not have the authority to issue medals instead of pins if they would like to do it, or does it have to come from the fire marshal or what is the process? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Steen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department could come up with a medal regardless what the fire department or fire marshal says, but we would certainly like to have their input to it. However, in the end, it is the department's decision. Nevertheless we would certainly like to have their input. Thank you.

Supplementary, Mr. Delorey.

Thank you, I just have one more question, Mr. Speaker, and that is; when can we see these medals? When are they going to show up or when will they be introduced? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Steen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I apologize, I've missed the Member's question.

Mr. Delorey, could you restate your question?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was looking for timelines on these medals, on the different awards that the department is going to be issuing. I would like to know when can you see these. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Steen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is not a very big issue, and I certainly will encourage the department to get it done as soon as possible. Thanks.

Item 6, oral questions. Mr. Nitah.

Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Ootes.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on the issue of housing, the government got out of the housing policy several years ago. The work that is being undertaken in these studies will look at a number of things, one of which is housing and some of the turnover issues that we have. With respect to the Member's question, I can't commit to that because it is a government issue and it requires FMBS and I can't speak for all the other government departments that have responsibly in this area, Mr. Speaker. We know that we want to be sensitive to the teachers, that is certainly true. We certainly also need to be aware of the problems that are out there, one of which, as I say, is housing. There may be other particular reasons for turnover. Thank you.

Supplementary, Mr. Nitah.

Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.
