Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to start out by thanking the honourable Member for Yellowknife South for distracting me at the end of the Members' statements. I didn't get a chance to make my statement.

My question is to the Minister of Education. The previous Minister had indicated to the Yellowknives Dene First Nation that the Minister would direct his officials to help the Yellowknives Dene First Nation to acquire a school and a preschool. These officials were supposed to be working with them to do that. The reasoning behind this is when the children from Ndilo enter the Catholic school system, where most of the kids go, they are actually already about two years behind the kids who enter the school system there. As a consequence to this, they drop out early and we all know that when people drop out early, that increases your social assistance and increases the likelihood that people will become incarcerated. I understand that, to date, nothing has been done. I would like to know if the department intends to pursue this matter or if they have decided not to. Thank you.
