Thank you, Madam Speaker. It is interesting that the honourable Member mentions Dr. Porter because Dr. Porter, in my most recent meetings in Toronto at a conference on inclusive schooling, special needs education, supports the inclusive schooling policy of the Government of the Northwest Territories and has indicated to me that it is one of the leading policies in this country.
I think the report that was provided to school district No. 1 was an excellent report by Dr. Porter. I have had a chance to review it and I have also had a chance to review the response to school district No. 1. All the decisions that have been made have not been totally supportive of Dr. Porter's original report. I do feel the inclusive school policy is one that we should implement and one we need to work on. Generally speaking, there are some specific issues that need to be addressed and, hopefully, with the commitment of the Department of Health and Social Services and ourselves, we can get on with trying to find the necessary responses.
In some cases, we are responding by providing additional financial support. With others, we have to deal with the question of space. There are two elements to space: one is the growing school-age population in the city. Secondly, is the need for us to address the special needs of school in the city as well.
