Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at the end of the first week in May, I did receive the Yellowknife facilities report from the committee. The next day I received a phone call from one of the boards asking if an offer I had made previously to facilitate a bilateral meeting between the two Yellowknife school boards was still open. I confirmed that I would be prepared to have such a meeting facilitated. That was set up. It took place. At that meeting, the Yellowknife District No. 1 agreed that they would take some time to review their position and put in writing in a letter to me what they might be prepared to offer. So at that point, that was where things were left.
The press release the Member refers to, leading up to the facilitated meeting there were a number of different drafts of press releases prepared to be ready should one result or another happen. That release was never approved by me for distribution or posting on the web and should not have been there. I understand that it has caused some concern, but, Mr. Speaker, at this point I am still ready to continue to try to work with the two boards to see where we can get in this process. Thank you.
