Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement I talked about the residential schools and the impact on parents in our small communities. Mr. Speaker, in 1850 it was mandatory, compulsory that all children aged six to 15 be in school, so it just had a huge impact. This compulsory, mandatory act ended in 1948.

Mr. Speaker, in terms of that amount of time, I want to ask the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment in terms of his work with the Residential School Committee of the Northwest Territories, are we doing some work in terms of specific work being done towards working with our parents in terms of the devastating effect it had on their life and on all the children that attended these residential schools under these conditions?
