Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not think that any Member of this Cabinet disagrees with the principle the honourable Member has raised. I ask the honourable Member to work with the divisional board of education and myself to see how we may be able to incorporate the principle the honourable Member is raising. I think it is an important principle which could be dealt with throughout the Northwest Territories. It should be dealt with in conjunction with the strategy we are developing in terms of our future view and direction we wish to take with regard to education and amending the Education Act. When we get to that particular point, as well as laying out the plans for education in the regions, I think it will be helpful when we deal with those particular issues and will greatly improve the ability of this government to deliver programs which are culturally relevant and recognize the cultures and languages which we are responsible for.
