Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I had some research on the different trappers' compensation models. It speaks to it in the Yukon. Mr. Speaker, I want to ask the Minister -- because the Minister sort of has the dollars in his department, but the programs are being administered or run by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources -- is this a good approach in terms of deciding to move one part of ITI's responsibilities into the Department of Environment and Natural Resources? Is this a good place to look at, in terms of having a one-stop-shop for the harvesters? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Bell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think along the ground right now, there is a one-stop-shop, but I would be interested in understanding -- the Member mentioned the Yukon -- how other jurisdictions are handling this issue. I can certainly, and I am interested, in seeing the information the Member has. I would certainly be willing to talk to my colleagues about this. I have already indicated that I was prepared to come to committee to have this discussion. We certainly believe it was the right decision at the time. Protocols have been established. I am interested in understanding and hearing that they are working well, or not working well. Once we have some of that information, this is a good discussion for committee, and certainly a discussion that I will then take back to my Cabinet colleagues. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Bell. Final supplementary, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wanted to ask the Minister in terms of time frame. Some of the industries are coming into the Sahtu this year. Some industries are coming in next year. Can the Minister commit to having his staff work with the Sahtu harvesters, and in any other regions, in terms of putting together a harvesters' compensation model that the GNWT could ensure some time frame along with the affected parties? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Bell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am prepared to get to work in the Sahtu right now. I will send that direction to the regional staff. I think, in any of the regions where harvesters are interested, or industries interested, in having us bring the parties together, that is certainly something that I will look at. But in the coming weeks, we can certainly have this discussion. I would like to have our regional staff, that know the players very well, lead the discussion and lead this work and come back to me with some recommendations. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Bell. Item 7, oral questions. The honourable Member for Hay River South, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. The honourable Minister of Justice, Mr. Bell.

That is a great question. I am not sure I have a very good response. I will certainly look into that and find out what can be done, but I think this is largely outside the Department of Justice and with the courts. Let me verify that and come back to the Member with something that is a little more researched. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Bell. Supplementary, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Minister for that. I just want to ask the Minister if he, just from that brief preamble, has a good grasp of what I am talking about, of the kinds of problems that it causes for local businesses and institutions? Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Mr. Bell.

Thank you. Yes, Mr. Speaker, I can appreciate not only the disruption, but how critical this could be, especially if it is a larger trial and a number of people are being called in a smaller community. It is important, and vital, that day-to-day business and services

carry on. I am sure that can be taken into consideration. I am just not sure who has to make that consideration. I would like to discuss this further with the Member, make sure I understand the request, and then I will take it up with my department officials. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Bell. Item 7, oral questions. The honourable Member for Range Lake, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am interested in the outcome of the Cabinet meeting on the WCB issue. Mr. Speaker, I am going to ask another question to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. It has to do with the capital project for the new school in Yellowknife. Mr. Speaker, this has been on the books for at least a couple of years. We all know that capital dollars are scarce. I know that these decisions are made on need. Yet, after approving it two years ago, so far we do not see any movement in what is going on with this school. I know that the Minister has been doing nothing but just forming meetings and meetings and meetings, which he is prone to do on so many different issues. I would like to know why it is that, after this House approved a budget for a new school in Yellowknife, we have made no progress in the last two years. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. The honourable Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the stakeholders in Yellowknife who are interested in school renovations or school projects agreed, some time ago, to work together to see if they could come up with a plan for how the money should be spent. That plan has been finalized. The final report is being presented by the consultant, to the stakeholders, today and tomorrow. I would hope that we will be able to move forward from those presentations very quickly. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Supplementary, Ms. Lee.

Mr. Speaker, I am sorry to tell you, but I have been hearing that for the last two years. A good friend of mine told me, you cannot, as a politician, use meetings and proposals as an alibi for inaction. Mr. Speaker, it is completely inexcusable that, when how difficult we all know it is to get money for a new capital project, the Minister sat on this project for two years. Why is it that he insists on having meeting after meeting for a project that, obviously, was in need when you brought it to the House, Mr. Speaker?

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, whether it is Colville Lake, Tuktoyaktuk, or Yellowknife, we have a process that we follow. That involves consultation with the stakeholders. That sometimes takes some time. The stakeholders have concluded their work with the consultant. The report has been finalized. As I said, the final report is being presented to the stakeholders. This evening is the first meeting, and tomorrow is the second meeting. That is the first time that the stakeholders are seeing that final report. From that point, we will move forward.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Supplementary, Ms. Lee.
