Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what we've been seeing for some time is a major initiative from the Department of Education, Culture and Employment in terms of the roll-out of the junior kindergarten initiative. I'm seeking some clarity and trying to give an opportunity to the Minister to provide some answers that could be very resolute, and given the confidence that this is going to go forward despite the ongoing issues and concerns.

My first question is: can the Minister immediately follow up with the chief and council at the Hay River Reserve to make sure they are appropriately included in all future discussions on JK? Mahsi.
