Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Education. In terms of schools in my constituency where I represent a number of small communities, after a certain grade the students are required to go to a larger centre, which is Fort Simpson. They have to go into a home boarding situation where they have to live with another family. During my travels, my constituents have indicated to me they have concerns with sending their children into the unknown. There are more and more students from small communities entering higher grades, so more and more students are going into the major centres. Is the department doing anything about that to make sure the students who are sent from small communities into major centres are put in homes, or in care where the parents will be satisfied their children are well taken care of? Thank you.
