Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my statement earlier today, one area in which we are moving is to work with other jurisdictions to establish key standards or expectations for student achievement. For instance, we will be unveiling on the 15th of October, pan-Canadian standards in the area of science. It will give all jurisdictions across Canada, certain levels of knowledge that students should achieve at different grades. That allows each of the jurisdictions to then tailor their curriculum to ensure students can demonstrate success in those areas.

We have also participated with the western consortium which is the four western provinces and the Yukon, to develop a common math curriculum which is being implemented this year in the Northwest Territories. We continue to work with other jurisdictions on developing common curriculum and expectations, so we can demonstrate portability in that people can move from one jurisdiction to another and ensure not only educators, but the public have a clear understanding of what students are expected to know at each level of school. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
