Mr. Speaker, the aboriginal curriculum in the Education Act, I believe, was implemented in 1978. Since the implementation of this new section in the Education Act the aboriginal language and culture programs has not improved dramatically. In fact, it is gradually deteriorating. What I am saying is that even students my age who went to school understood their own language and their own culture. However, students now of school age do not understand that and I want to know what we are doing that is failing our culture. Would the Minister look into this situation? I compliment the department for doing what they could in those areas, but we are still failing.
