I'm just wondering if the Premier could comment on the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation. I know they’ve had some struggles, and they’ve gotten to where they are today through a lot of hard work, but why has it taken so long for the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation to come up with the $5 million in equity? The foundation of the project, and the benefits, were going to come out of that $5 million, and if it’s not there today, it’s not the same story we were told during the life of the last government.

This project has definitely spanned a number of governments. And the processes that were established…. As I am aware, the bridge corporation is looking at doing a public information process in the very near future. I think this may be an opportunity to have a discussion with them to see how much information they would be able to provide and respond to that area and go forward on that basis. As the Government of the Northwest Territories, there is an impact, as I stated, on the amount of equity that's put forward and the rate of return that would go back to the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation.

I have to apologize. I didn’t catch the last bit.

I would like to table a document entitled Empowering Our Children’s Futures: The First 10 Years of Aboriginal Head Start in Yellowknife and N’dilo.

The Yellowknife and N’dilo Aboriginal Head Start program has become a model for the rest of Canada and is celebrating their ten-year anniversary. The Empowering Our Children’s Futures report includes results collected from monitoring the program quality, school readiness, social skills and parental feedback. Aboriginal Head Start is an early-intervention program for aboriginal children and their families that includes programming in culture, language, school readiness, health, promotion of nutrition, parental involvement and social support.
