Mr. Speaker, I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr Gargan on June 24, 1992, with respect to factors considered in advancement of children in school. This is a further return to an oral question which I answered on June 24, 1992. Mr. Gargan informed me that it was his understanding that a seven-year-old child in Fort Providence has been held back for three years in the same grade because of his size and his age. As Minister of Education, I would like to emphasize that it is not the policy or practice of the school system to keep students from advancing a grade because of their size and age. I have asked the director of the Deh Cho Divisional Board of Education to look into this matter immediately and reply directly to the Member as soon as possible.
