Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for Education. Arctic College offers teacher education programs at its Thebacha and Nunatta campuses, and throughout community progress in the western Arctic and Keewatin regions. It is important that northern people who will stay in the north, be trained to teach our children. Mr. Speaker, it is also very important that the most capable and committed people be chosen. Teachers must be highly trained and able to teach our children to develop their knowledge and skills they need in core subjects, such as maths and sciences. These teachers are instructing our future leaders who must be able to compete and succeed in an increasingly technological society. Our children's skills must be our highest priorities. My question is, Mr. Speaker, can the Minister explain what requirements are in place to ensure that the most capable and committed individuals are chosen for teacher training?
