Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters Mr. Chairman, I've used up all my time, but once a junior kindergarten student has enroled, we'll just stick with one of the groups, okay, the junior kindergartens.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters I don't understand what is so difficult about my question. I know that junior kindergarten and kindergarten is not compulsory. I know that the students can stay at home if they want to. I know that the parents don't have to enrol them in school if they don't have to. My question

I'm asking if, once a junior kindergarten student has registered, does their attendance become compulsory like everybody else in the school?

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd like to start off with a question for the Minister on junior kindergarten.

Question 738-18(3): Affirmative Action Policy Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just shifting gears a little, but still along the human resources and priority candidates, I was wondering if the Minister could share preliminary results of the Priority 1, 2, and other students hired by the GNWT for the summer student program this year?
