Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Hard to follow that. My questions today are going to be for the Minister of the Department of Transportation. Earlier in my Member’s statement I noted that many community teens did not have drivers’ licences and I brought forward an idea that the Department of Transportation should consider a driver education and licensing program in our Northwest Territories schools.
The late Ed Jeske would be really proud today and I’m sure he’s got a smile on his face because he taught many Northerners how to drive. I think some of his students are actually here today. So his concept was very simple and I’m just asking if we looked at modernizing it for a purpose. Let’s get drivers’ licences in the hands of drivers in all of our communities.
So with that, aside from the Graduated Licensing Program, can the Minister tell us what other programs or initiatives does the DOT subscribe to that helps teen drivers with skill improvement, provide experience and teach safe driving? Thank you.
