Second Reading Of Bill 31: An Act To Amend The Student Financial Assistance Act September 13th, 1992
Question O762-12(2): Southern Institutions' Rejection Of Northern Students September 13th, 1992
(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I stood up because I was willing to answer his response. I stood up without realizing. The funding is small. The Members of the Legislative Assembly agreed upon, as we all know, and have to go by the budget that we agreed upon for the funding for the Department of Education. The budget is agreed on in the Legislature.
Question O762-12(2): Southern Institutions' Rejection Of Northern Students September 13th, 1992
(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am well aware of the facts the Member has stated. Sometimes the students refuse, and it is because of the education program for the secondary school. We agree on the budget yearly, and according to the budget we agree on in the Legislature, is sometimes misunderstood towards the programs for the students, but when there is funding, money available, the students are most welcome.
Question O760-12(2): Statistical Information Compiled By The Department Of Education September 13th, 1992
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have a very thorough recording system of graduates, what they are graduating from, from what community, and from what grade, etc. These are all readily available from my department, if the Member wishes to examine them. Otherwise, I could supply those if he wants me to do so.
Question O758-12(2): Implementation Of Recommendations Of Task Force On Aboriginal Languages Report September 13th, 1992
Mr. Speaker, I understand that Culture and Communication has a responsibility to translate the key months, and everything else, however, the construction of these sign are the responsibility of the G.N.W.T. Thank you.
Question O756-12(2): Better Access To Education September 13th, 1992
Mr. Speaker, that is already underway, and we are preparing a number of guidelines as to how we can best serve the whole territory. That is also part of the proposed high school policy, which we will be working on, so that education across the N.W.T. is of the same standard, and also, that it is a standard that will be set for the southern universities once they graduate from high school. Thank you.
Question O756-12(2): Better Access To Education September 13th, 1992
Yes, Mr. Speaker.
Question O754-12(2): Implementation Of Report Of The Traditional Knowledge Working Group September 13th, 1992
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, there is a prepared document and has the Cabinet dealt with that yet? I said, no. There is a prepared document, and I will be ready to take that.
Question O754-12(2): Implementation Of Report Of The Traditional Knowledge Working Group September 13th, 1992
Mr. Speaker, because of the consolidation, and the other changes that have taken place, we have to consider all the matters that have been traditionally separate from each other, we are still discussing how we are going to handle that. In that case, not yet, Mr. Speaker.
