Mr. Speaker, the Minister has alluded to some of the services they provide to the Northwest Territories residential school survivors. I’m more specifically focusing on the parents themselves that had to endure this hardship from having their children torn away from their homes, threatened if they do not send their children to schools, threatened with jail time or cut off from rations. The parents endured very, very horrendous impacts in terms of not having their children attend these schools. I know there’s a reconciliation process going on. I know the territorial government has a small role and it has a significant role. I would ask the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, through his education committee, is there some specific work being done to work with the parents in the Northwest Territories in regard to the residential school issues?
