My question is: Is there a plan to expand the training to other interested groups?

Quyanini, Mr. Speaker. Earlier, I spoke about residential schools and reports of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. My questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. My question is: Have you implemented mandatory training for teachers and Education, Culture, and Employment staff on residential schools?

Quyanini, Mr. Speaker. I'd also like to recognize Mr. Darrell Beaulieu. I remember when they started Det'on Cho Diamonds; I was a diamond polisher there. Welcome, Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I would like to talk about the impacts of residential schools in the NWT. Residential schools have taken language, culture, and lives of many Aboriginal people who have passed on. Many of them are here with us today. Through the work of many initiatives of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, the TRC, the reality of those tragedies are brought more and more into focus. As Canadians move forward in a way to leave the past behind and create forgiveness and cultural respect for the future of Aboriginal people in Canada, as leaders we must take the lead to ensure that former students, family members, and educators receive the proper education in helping Aboriginal people move forward and, most of all, heal from the horrible experiences they've lived. Canadians can create a new legacy for children of all nations and cultures by joining hands in an open process of dialogue of reconciliation. Survivors of residential schools live in all regions of Canada today and many other cultures have suffered. Canadians need to hear our stories and find ways to ensure our collective future rests on a solid foundation of respect, openness, and trust. We can build a stronger North by teaching our educators to help our generations heal as youth continue to struggle in schools across the North and Canada. Quyanini. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to thank everyone for all the hard work on the mandate and I know the Standing Committee on Priorities and Planning has been working hard to make some changes. I look forward to moving forward and getting to work on the issues, as it's been a late election so we're left a little bit behind. We have a little bit of work ahead of us. I know I see some of the stuff on climate change and the environment, which I'm pretty fond of, as well as culture and education. I look forward to working with the Ministers in the smaller communities, as well as employment and the high costs of living. I just want to congratulate everybody on the hard work that they're doing and I hope that we can get to work on this as soon as possibl

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what other types of funding and support from the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs are available to support Tuktoyaktuk if they want to address shoreline erosion? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The Government of Canada has recently made an announcement about the National Disaster Mitigation Program. Could this be a solution for Tuktoyaktuk?

My second question is what options are available to the Hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk to help them address the issues of shoreline erosion?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. Shoreline erosion has been affecting the community of Tuktoyaktuk for some time. Mr. Speaker, my question is how long has the department been aware of this issue? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
