Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister stated that allowing the student to automatically move forward with their peers seems to be the best option. I guess my concerns would come out of the fact that we have seen the statistics of a large drop out that seems to be happening at the grade nine area. Has the Minister's department compared numbers and results of an automatic pass system and where the drop out rate increases, in comparison to being left behind for a year if they did not achieve the levels? Thank you.
