Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As mentioned earlier in my statement here, my questions would be to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. I am really encouraged when I first read the material published by this government, Skills 4 Success. I think if there's more material published like that, it would be very encouraging to the reader and the students out in the small remote communities. There's a broad horizon out there, and a welcome knowledge to be accumulated in preparation for the career of choice.

So my first question to the Minister is: what post-graduation programs are available currently? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today would be to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment on graduation season. We are into the middle of the season of graduation. As a matter of fact, I’m going to one here this coming Friday in Deline. Just recently went to some others including the Aurora College graduation here which seemed to beneficiary residents of the Sahtu in Yellowknife here. It comes to make me think, is there any support programs more referring to post-graduation career seminar supports in place after the students or the youths have graduated from their respective school? So later on today, I would have questions in that regard of support systems for our community youth, if they want to progress in institutions in the South, for example. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Tabled Document 50-18(2): Main Estimates 2016-2017 and would like to report progress. Mr. Speaker, we move that the report of the Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My last question is, if the Minister could supply me with information related to this season's schedule and the future plans. I know the RFP is out, I just saw that a few hours ago. I am not familiar with the document itself. But if I could get some information to pass on to the leaders of the Sahtu and any other interested leaders down in the valley that gets resupplied by the marine barging season. In one case, in Fort Good Hope in particular, they are only getting one barge courier per season. They have no other options other than air support. That is really not an option in some cases. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Given that there are companies with that additional qualification, such as double hulls, and it is also this government's mandate to acknowledge BIP and capacity building for Northern operators, are there avenues to work with the proponents out there in that marine sector?

In the RFP, could the Minister confirm that there are additional requirements, I would say seven in the RFP, to isolate, I would probably say, all couriers in this northern territory underneath the business directory? For example, does the RFP require that all vessels, be it the tug itself or be it the barge itself, that they have to be double hulled? If that is so, Mr. Speaker, then it restricts anybody and everybody that is currently operating right now because the current operators, I am not too sure, have that standard. Would the Minister confirm, please?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Barging schedule was on my Member's statement. I ask the Minister responsible for Public Works and Services, what is the current arrangement between this government and the resupply courier, NTCL? There are a number of rumours out there about the courier's financial position. I know that we are going to see the sailing service acknowledged by the current courier, but are we quite confident that they will fulfill the season's sailing schedule? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I'm going to have questions there for the Minister responsible for Public Works and Services in regards to the barging resupply. Some communities along the Mackenzie River are solely dependent on one courier at this point in time and there's other couriers in the area but they, for some reason, do not have the port licence to stop in say, Fort Good Hope, for example, so the one courier is under contract with this government. I would like to get more information on the scheduling and so on to provide confidence to the two stores in Fort Good Hope, for example, and the other two communities that there will be scheduled service this year.

In most cases there, whether it's personal or this government or the capital project, it is dependent to ensure that those goods and services are being delivered on time and scheduled to take advantage of the summer construction season. That's just some logistical comments on that, but later on I will have questions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

My last question, Mr. Chair. Is it the department's wish or directive to conclude a trans-boundary agreement between the three parties I mentioned, the communities of Colville, Deline, and the Nunavut Land Use Planning Board?
