Mr. Speaker, there are lots of in-service training courses advertised but I have never seen one offered on client service management, which is an extremely well-developed science and business management. ECE and other departments deliver many programs, income support and so on, across the counter to clients. What steps will the Minister take to improve the skills of the public servants who serve the public, including mandatory training and providing good client service? Mahsi.

Thank you, Minister. Once again, committee, we are on page 8-30, activity summary, community health programs, grants and contributions, contributions. Agreed?

Thank you, Minister. Next on my list I have Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Finally, I’d like to know – and I’d like to start by appreciating the Minister’s action along with that of the Yellowknives Dene to get together and talk about this, involve the entire community -- how will this process continue and how will support be gathered throughout the range of the Bathurst caribou to ensure that the solution is acceptable to all and put in place effectively and quickly.

Thank you. On page 8-31, information item...Excuse me. Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Minister Lee. Next on my list I have Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Minister Lee. Committee, we’re on page 8-33, information item, details of funding allocated to health and social service authorities.

I appreciate that note of caution. I do understand that, as well, and I fully understand that the caribou are meaningful and spiritual as well as in the physical and nutritional and emotional ways. And I think we all do in this House. But I’m wondering if that understanding was carried into the consultation process and, if so, during the consultation process did the Minister receive the go-ahead from the Yellowknives Dene for this ban?

Thank you, Minister. Once again, we are on page 8-29, activity summary, community health programs, operations expenditure summary, $85.067 million. Agreed?
