Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will not argue with the honourable Member. I think I agree there have been some significant failures. I would also like to indicate to the honourable Member that both in the Inuktitut language and the in the Dene languages we are moving in new curriculum areas that were not developed in 1978, but are new programs that were developed in the last year. As a result of the support of the previous Ministers we are now piloting those new curriculums that will be helpful to the young people. I appreciate the concern the honourable Member has raised, that is the reason we are responding and we do not want the same kind of failures. Much of the development has been done by the aboriginal teachers themselves so they have an idea of some of the problem areas. We are trying to respond to the honourable Member. I am hoping I could provide him with detailed information so he can see that we are trying to make strides in the educational system to meet the challenges the honourable Member has raised.
