Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are addressed to the Minister for Education, Culture and Employment. In February of this year I asked some questions of the Minister with regard to a safe schools policy for all of the schools within the NWT and the Minister responded. Thank you very much to the Minister. I did get a letter which pretty much told me that all schools have an emergency response plan in place. But I was not referencing an emergency response plan, which is like a lockdown if we have a shooter in the school, or a bomb threat or so on. I’m referencing a safe schools policy which looks at all aspects of the safety of the students and the community: bullying, kids at risk, kids involved in

drugs and alcohol, involving partners like the RCMP and so on, family violence and violence in the school.

I’d like to ask the Minister, in his letter he advised me that the department would review and revisit fairly regularly, and I’d like to ask the Minister if there’s been any movement on the part of the department to look at a safe schools policy for our schools in the Northwest Territories.
