Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you, Mr. Minister, for clarifying that. I just wanted to make sure we were on the turning the wrench side, rather than the diagnostic side or the health side. On the last note -- and it could be my last question depending on the outcome -- presently does Public Works and Services run any water facilities, water treatment plants in the Northwest Territories, or at this time are they all in the hands of the communities? Could the Minister expand if that is not the case? Thank you.

I can’t help but ask one last question. Will the Minister be engaging any of the Yellowknife Members with regard to this new school yet to be determined under which school board? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When will the Minister be determining which school board this new Yellowknife school will be directed to? Thank you.

Thank you for your confidence, Mr. Zoe. Wait until we get to MACA.

Mr. Chairman, if the Minister would honour us with the regional breakout of the total regional college contributions. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It must be late because I think I heard two answers. There were two different answers, and I stress it could be late and it could be me. It is the NACC officials' understanding that the lease is not being lived up to properly so, therefore, I'm asking for commitment from the Minister just to have a look at it. I can't imagine the bureaucracy not having an extra moment to have a good look at it, therefore we've satisfied our concerns. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will stress up front I won't pursue the aggressive line of questioning my honourable colleague, Mr. Menicoche, just did. I would like to follow suit on some of the comments Ms. Lee brought forward with regard to the Northern Arts and Cultural Centre here in Yellowknife. NACC had pointed out that they had an original lease that was established between the GNWT and I guess them, the way I understand it. They brought forward, in a very articulate manner, that they felt the lease was still strong and when it changed to the school board the lease had never truly been...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier, one of our honourable Members pointed out a failing grade on the report card level, and I would like to take the opportunity for the Minister of Justice to redeem his report card implied level with this written question.

Would the Minister table in this House, in a timely manner, this government's position on a sex offender registry, and, further, note any work done to date in support of a national sex offender registry.

And finally, if the Minister would note this government's observations of any potential shortcomings that a future national sex offender...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind all our colleagues that this government would allow overspending on the North Slave Young Offenders Corrections Centre but, Mr. Speaker, we take no drastic actions to save legal aid. We’re going to allow it to grind into the ground. When will this government recognize and take their opportunities and waive those hands and say they need help? Because I’ll tell you, Mr. Speaker, this side of the Assembly will be there to help. We need them to lead by vision, show that they want to work with us because this side of the Assembly is...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to leave this with one last question, has the Minister investigated potential locations for this new school yet to be determined under which school board? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
