Thank you, Madam Speaker. Just to correct the record, Madam Speaker, the direction I'm undertaking in pursuing community high school programming is not a new direction. It has been in place ever since my colleague, Mr. Kakfwi, was the Minister of Education. He began the process of developing community high school programming.
On the matter of support, Madam Speaker, at present we provide for assistance to the students to travel back to their communities during Christmas. However, it is the choice of the
parents, also, to decide the holiday for which they want us to provide assistance.
I will certainly look at the other concern the honourable Member has raised, but again it will be with considerable concern for our financial situation. That is the remark that he made where we provide for assistance to parents and students for additional trips home.
The last point I wanted to make, Madam Speaker, is the matter of where the students attend school rests with the board and they can make the choice in their region as to how they want to provide high school programming. I will review the matter, however, it has to be within the context of the financial resources we have available to us.
