Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Section 52 of the act under general offences and punishment reads: “A person other than an inmate who (a) contravenes this act or the regulations, or (b) conducts himself or herself in a manner that is detrimental to the good order and discipline of a correctional centre, is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $500 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or both.”

Can be Premier indicate to the House, will the Minister of Justice authorize an independent investigation into whether charges should be laid under...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today in my Member’s statement I shared my dismay on the way our Department of Justice is handling our corrections services. Ironically, the office of the Auditor General agrees with me.

As set out in our NWT Corrections Act, there are consequences and processes clearly defined for the contravention of the act. My questions today are for the Minister-designate. Without belabouring the long list of contraventions and violations of this act in the wake of the recent Auditor General’s report, can the Premier indicate if the Department of Justice reviewed its legal...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is my honour to have been asked by the leaders and the elders of Deline to ensure that government negotiating teams and their officials who worked on this agreement are recognized on this historic day.

I share Deline’s appreciation for the hard work of so many government officials, particularly efforts of the negotiating teams who spent a great deal of time over the years travelling and away from their own families, making personal sacrifices required to complete this agreement.

In particular I have been asked to convey the thanks of Deline elders to these individuals...

I do appreciate the Minister’s reply to that. I’m a little bit saddened by the fact that it’s almost been four years now that we’re still working on it, and I can understand that there needs to be due process for problems of this nature. If I can maybe get some indication, will we see some sort of resolution to the ALBE saga as a result of the OAG report, in terms of its finality, during the life of the 17th Assembly? Will we see these accountability framework and performance measures in place?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that response. It’s always important for us to reflect and evaluate monumental shifts or changes in leadership and, in this case here, how we are looking after our various divisions in management.

To the question of how well this has been working, I noticed that recently the graduation rate in the last year did rise slightly. I think it increased by around 8 percent.

What would have accounted for a larger increase in graduation rates? Of course, I think it’s under 65 percent, but there was something of a shift. Can we maybe get the department’s explanation why...

Committee, are you prepared to commence detail?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Tabled Document 188-17(5), Northwest Territories Main Estimates 2015-2016, and would like to report progress. I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. We’ll give the Minister an opportunity to reply. Minister Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.

Can the Minister provide to this House and make publicly available the entire set of inspection reports for registered daycare facilities in the Northwest Territories, beginning in the 2010-2011 fiscal year up to and including the 2014-2015 fiscal year?
