Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, recommendation number 4. I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment review this suggestion to determine if there is an effective and economical way of returning fine revenues to the education body which generates those revenues.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that a phrase be added to the bill to specifically allow for and encourage the establishment of a parent advisory committee in each school.

Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that the government evaluate the formula funding provided for inclusive schooling and the processes used by education bodies for allocating this funding among students, taking into consideration the inclusive schooling policy.

Mr. Chairman, with your concurrence, I move that this committee recommends that a clause be included in the proposed act which would clearly lay out the total annual instructional days for kindergarten, grades 1 to 6, and grades 7 to 12.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The committee has five recommendations that it would like to make into formal motions. I would like to go through those motions at this time.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, the Standing Committee on Legislation read its report into the record on June 8th, and in our report we had a number of recommendations. I would like to begin by reintroducing the recommendations.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think northerners will have observed that a lot of these infestations occur along major highways. From British Columbia and from Alberta, we notice an influx of other plants and certain species of insects. I would like to ask the Minister whether there is anything the public can do to fight this infestation before it gets out of hand. A decade is a long time to expect to be faced with this problem. Is there anything the public or the department can do to combat these intruders?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister of Renewable Resources. Mr. Speaker, besides the threat of fire and drought, I see our forests being attacked by some form of a pest. I think it's a tent caterpillar. I was listening to the radio on the weekend, Mr. Speaker, and in the Liard, a lady who does an annual report was noticing large numbers of caterpillars -- she didn't know what they were, but I believe they're tent caterpillars -- in the Liard area. I conducted a check around the city of Yellowknife and we're seeing large numbers of tent caterpillars already infesting trees. It's pretty devastating, particularly when it comes to deciduous trees, with the conditions we have now.

I would like to ask the Minister whether or not his department is aware of this and if there's anything that can be done to combat this invasion.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to further direct a question to the Minister concerning the notification of renewals. I would like to ask the Minister whether it is a policy of the department to issue renewals. I've looked into the matter and in Alberta, it has been a policy for the last little while. I would like to ask if this is a policy in the territories as well.
