Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, that school, as we talked about earlier, will be part of the next year’s capital planning process. We have the report back from Mr. Kindt highlighting the required space in the school, as the Member has referred to in his Member’s statement. I think it is time to look at that on a going forward basis, so this will be part of the next year’s planning cycle. Mahsi.

Again, I thank the Minister for the report that was done on Mangilaluk School. The situation in the Mangilaluk School, I’m happy to hear the Minister on a go forward basis on the funding for next year, but I still feel strongly enough that I do want to put a motion into the House. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The Chair Bob Bromley

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Jacobson, do you have a motion? Go forward.

Jackie Jacobson

Jackie Jacobson Nunakput

Yes, I do, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I move that the committee strongly recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment work in close cooperation with the Beaufort-Delta Education Council to take all the steps necessary to establish a full-time high school teacher position in Sachs Harbour for 2010-11…

Wrong motion, Mr. Speaker. That’s my second one. I’m speaking on the Mangilaluk School extension.

The Chair Bob Bromley

Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. Committee, we’re on page 10-17, activity summary, Education, Culture and Employment, education and culture, operations expenditure summary. Mr. Krutko.

I, too, will be coming forward with a similar motion in regard to the community of Tsiigehtchic, because I believe that the community should have a high school teacher in the community. I think that if you’re going to deliver grades kindergarten to grade 9 and then also high school, you should have more than two teachers in a community. I think you can’t expect people to carry that large workload and, more importantly, expect to have quality education being provided in those communities. So, again, I will be bringing forward a similar motion dealing with the community of Tsiigehtchic. I think that it’s a similar arrangement as Sachs Harbour and I, again, will be coming forward with a motion.

The Chair

The Chair Bob Bromley

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Go forward with your motion.

Mr. Chair, I move that committee strongly recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment work closely in close cooperation with the Beaufort-Delta Education Council to take all steps necessary to establish a full-time high school teacher position in Tsiigehtchic for the 2010-11 school year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
