Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In about 1972, the Tree of Peace decided they needed to develop a kindergarten program because many aboriginal people want their children to retain their culture.
Just a few months ago, Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Education said, "By electing me to this Cabinet, the people of Yellowknife have no fear of Richard Nerysoo." I would like to ask the Minister of Education, why has he decided that a program that has existed for more than 18 years to help urban aboriginal people retain their culture suddenly be eliminated?
