I move that the committee recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment make a commitment to undertake the following:

-To continue to participate in standardized testing and examine the results of the tests;

-To objectively compare northern students to the national average and determine the reason for any significant differences; and,

-To develop strategies to help students achieve at levels comparable to other students in Canada.

Further, the committee recommends that the department respond to the Standing Committee on Finance with an analysis and initial strategy by January 1, 1995.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That concludes the recommendations from the Standing Committee on Finance for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment. The wish of the committee is to move to the discussion paper Towards a Strategy to 2010.

Mr. Ballantyne, I didn't get the first part of your comment. You are suggesting that we go on to Towards a Strategy to 2010? Is that what you are asking? Do we have the concurrence of the committee of the whole that we go into discussion of the document Towards a Strategy to 2010?
