Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Member for the question. It’s good timing; this is National Teen Driver Safety Week. We’ve also launched Project Gearshift, which is aimed at getting the types of behaviours and schools engaged in learning about safe practices when it comes to driving.
The Member asked what else we’re doing, and I know that in the Northwest Territories in the past when I grew up here in Yellowknife that we did at one time have driver education in the high schools here in Yellowknife. That’s no longer the case, but students in the high schools here in Yellowknife and in Hay River, where we have professional driver education training, can still get high school credit toward their diploma through learning how to drive through a professional driving instructor. We also are working toward having an app made and working with, it’s called The Passing Zone Inc., it’s flashcards, an app that’s going to be available in high schools across the Northwest Territories in the coming year. It’s based on the NWT driving manual and I think that’s going to go a long way, as well, to getting students in high schools across the
Northwest Territories more information and the ability to get a driver’s licence. Thank you.
