I didn't quite get the figure that the Minister gave me as the drop-out rate, but it seemed like a high figure. The national drop-out rate, according to Statistics Canada, is 18 per cent. In the Maritimes, it's 30 per cent. In the west, it's 16 per cent. So, I'd like to ask the Minister, since the northern figure seems to be much, much higher than the national average, could he give some explanation as to why our drop-out rate seems to be larger than what exists in the south?
