Thank you, Mr. Chairman. According to this document called a Blueprint for the Future, which is the corporate plan of the Aurora college, it indicates that approximately 33 percent of the aboriginal people in the western NWT have less than grade nine and approximately three percent of non-aboriginal people have less than grade nine. I would like to know if the department has a clear and concise plan to bring these levels more even. Obviously I would not expect them to increase the levels of non-aboriginal people to 33 percent. Is there a plan to bring the aboriginal levels of people with less than grade nine down to a three or four percent that is enjoyed by the non-aboriginal population?
