Thank you, Madam Chair. I’ll keep my comments brief.

I’m in agreement with the Member for Tu Nedhe for the first Monday in November. That’s my recommended choice. I think having a fixed election day will certainly be good not only for the Members that are here but for any potential candidates that are out there. If we have a date set, I mean, we all know, having run in campaigns before, it’s a lot of work. The more lead time you can give somebody, the better off they’ll be. So it’s good. It’s better for the process generally and I say the first Monday in November. The other reason...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Then on April 1st, 2006, who’s going to control the lottery revenue? Will it be Sport North or will it be the new sport and recreation council? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d be the first to agree that Sport North and the staff that they have do a first-rate job at running the lottery booths, especially the ones I’m known to frequent on occasion here in Yellowknife. The question I’d ask the Minister, and he doesn’t have to provide an answer today, but I’m wondering if the organization, if it’s a new council that’s going to receive the lottery revenue, if they’ll receive an increase in revenue if terminals are located in a variety of different locations or could we expect to get more revenue? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m just wondering, the Minister didn’t mention whether or not there’s any dialogue that happens between his department, the Department of Justice, and Health and Social Services, in terms of trying to find out why inmates are in jail and what we can do as a government to try to keep them out of there. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Dent.

Thank you. On clause 1, Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If I could maybe get that response from the Minister of MACA in terms of where exactly in Ndilo the proposed subdivision is. Thank you.

Good question.
