Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I have previously advised this House, the National School Achievement Indicators Program does not separate out results by community. The results are given to each jurisdiction, being each province or territory, on the basis of the whole province or territory. I think it is important to remember that indicator tests, such as this one, are used to give a broad indication of how students are doing.
They are used to identify areas where curriculum needs to be strengthened perhaps to ensure dealing with a situation. It is dangerous to take a test like this and make inferences that students are performing well above or well below what the national average might be. These tests are not necessarily normed for our population in the north. I think it is very important they be taken in context and used for the purpose for which they were designed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
