Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Honourable Charles Dent, the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, regarding the nationwide academic tests. The other day I tabled a letter from the Mayor of Yellowknife. He had sent this letter to the Minister which expresses concern about getting information out on how Yellowknife schools placed in respect to the national test. The mayor pointed out that the Yellowknife Public School, which he attended as a child, was always one of the best in the Alberta system. The Alberta system today, Mr. Speaker, is apparently one of the best in the country. Also, the mayor pointed out the French immersion students are today on a par with Alberta systems and Alberta students.
The mayor's point was the Yellowknife schools may be on a par on a national basis, so does that mean the rest of the territory is far below because the tests indicate that? The mayor's question was, and I wonder if the Minister could answer it, how did the Yellowknife schools perform in terms of the national tests? Thank you.
