Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to indicate my sincere apologies to the graduates of the Inuvik Samuel Hearne High School for my non-attendance at their graduation this afternoon. The reason for my not attending, Mr. Speaker, was to hopefully, as Minister, become involved in the discussion on the Education Act today. Unfortunately, we didn't get to that point.

First of all, I just want to extend my congratulations to all the graduates. Hopefully I'll be able to see them this weekend. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
