Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think what we are trying to do is ensure people are prepared to make productive choices in their lives, and they can do that better if they are better educated. Those productive choices could range from being better prepared to make a living off the land to being able to move to a different community and participate in the wage economy if that is their choice. If people are not well-educated though, they are not in a position to make productive choices.
