Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon. Mr. Speaker, this is not the only jurisdiction in this country that has this particular problem. I want to implicate that, generally speaking, there is an acceptance that there is a situation with aboriginal communities right across the country that they find in terms of comparable educational standards; they are different and, in fact, lower. So there is an attempt on the part of the Ministers of Education across the country to try to find a way to address this particular issue. The western Ministers have been meeting and we are working on an effort in western Canada to try to develop a consistent curriculum for all of western Canada so that there is consistency in measuring the students that graduate from our schools.
