Thank you, Mr. Roland. Supplementary, Mr. Pokiak.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In regard to the protocol, if the coroner is involved, I am just wondering, how long does it usually take for the coroner to make his report? Can it be made public for the family that is involved right away? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Pokiak. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as process is well established on how we work with the coroner's office, the coroner's office operates on its own and will do its work as has been done in the past. When they finish their report, it is made available to the public through a number of avenues. We would, as a department, look at recommendations that come out of that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Supplementary, Mr. Pokiak.

Thank you, Mr. Pokiak. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, again, I am going to have to be very careful in responding to this, because we are aware of the situation that is before us and aware of the coroner doing his work. For the process that is established, we work with all of our health authorities and schedule their travel, whether it be to the Inuvik facility for minor surgery there if it can be performed or to the territorial facility if it needs to be dealt with at this end or, again, on the level of surgery that is required going to the Capital Health Authority in Alberta or other jurisdictions if required. We do have a process established where one physician works with another if a patient has to be transferred and work within that environment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Final supplementary, Mr. Pokiak.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would just like to ask the Minister, can his department contact Mr. Voudrach in terms of giving him as much information as the department can give so that at least he will have that information? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Pokiak. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as difficult as the situation is and the family has found themselves in, the process, again, is very well established. We will have to work through the coroner's office for information to flow when the coroner is done. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Oral questions. The honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions will be for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. It is, yet again, about the Yellowknife school problem. Mr. Speaker, my question will be framed around lack of consistency, clarity and practice throughout the Northwest Territories where there is more than one school in that community. Is there any ECE legislative authority, policy or directive that is enforceable which points to a minimum capacity level that community schools must be at, and, if they are not, are they either amalgamated or closed?

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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There is no policy. We have never been in a situation before where we had so many vacancies as we do in this situation right now in Yellowknife. So we are responding to a unique circumstance. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Supplementary, Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Often, when people respond at the spur of the moment on unique circumstances, I think they make a lot of mistakes, Mr. Speaker. That speaks to the frustration of the parents. So speaking to that issue, will the Minister be answering all of those questions posed by the parents so we can get on and find a solution to this issue? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member may have noted my answers to Mr. Ramsay earlier today. This has not been going on for just a week, two weeks, a month, or even a year. It has been going on far longer than that. There have been a number of discussions with the goal of trying to resolve this with this situation. There has not been a collaborative solution yet, so I am trying to force some action with my recommendations with YK 1. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Supplementary, Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister avoiding my question, which is the fact that the parents posed all of these formal questions to the Minister. Will he be formally responding to them? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have responded to a number of parents. I intend to respond to all parents who contact me. I call tell the Member that most of the parents with whom I have spoken one on one generally I have been able to answer their concerns and their questions. They have often come to a different point of view than when we started the conversation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
