Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On this topic I would like to know more detail about what caused this increase in the premium first. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is not an increase in the actual premiums. This is a shift between the Department of Health and Social Services over to the Department of Finance. We found in a case where Health and Social Services was doing some of its own insuring we felt that there was a savings by transferring it over and this is the amount that we feel...It's actually health boards, I believe, were insuring some of their own items. So we've pulled them into our total government insurance program, by that saving some numbers. But there is an added cost to their side of the equation and that's where we see the increase of $305,000. Thank you.

Thank you. The Minister mentioned that the government has folded in the insurance costs for health boards and I'm assuming that coverage covers the health centres and public buildings that health boards run. I'm just wondering, how does the government take care of the school insurance. Is the government at all responsible for educational boards' insurance?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, just for the record as well, the committee will see where the savings part of this is in under the Department of Health and Social Services later on in this document. On the board side of it, the insurance part is the liability insurance. That's the portion that was folded in. I believe that we do in fact insure the education boards, except for Yellowknife No. 1 and No. 2, I believe. Thank you.

Thank you. I appreciate that because I know that the Members have talked about the rising incidents of violence and vandalism, and there are lots of schools in Yellowknife that are subject to all sorts of incidents of nuisance or violence or vandalism. There are lots of windows being kicked in, or where there are youth roaming around and stuff. I have had the occasion to talk to the school boards about the increasing costs and I know there is some concern about not only extra insurance premiums you have to pay for the extra cost of covering those damages, but also preventive measures they could take like putting in extra lights or extra infrastructure around the school buildings to prevent and decrease incidents of vandalism around the school. I know that this is a very current issue and I guess I'm just wondering. My question first of all would be why is it that the GNWT does not cover the school boards No. 1 and No. 2? Thank you.
