Fort Simpson will be delivering a grade 12 program this upcoming year. On the matter of extensions in other communities, we have not had a request from the Deh Cho regional board of education to provide extension of grades in Fort Liard. Normally, the process would be a discussion from the community to the regional board and then the regional board would develop the plans to present the arguments on behalf of the community. We have not heard that discussion yet. It would be my suggestion to the honourable Member, and most Members, that I would rather have the actual decisions being made by communities and in the regions before I intervened on their behalf. It is my belief that the regions and the communities should have a say in these decisions. Secondly, I think the secondary schooling strategy will address the concerns of long-term planning for high school extensions, generally across the Northwest Territories, and will lay out some plans and guidelines, so that we have some rules which will see us providing the same kind of programs and decision-making processes to all regions and all communities.
