Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the west we have a curriculum called Dene Kede which has been developed for grades K to 6 and in the east there is a curriculum called Inuuqatigiit which, as the Member has pointed out, has been developed for grades kindergarten to grade 12. This allows students to be instructed in their first language. Where there are teachers available who are fluent in Inuktitut, they could use the Inuuqatigiit curriculum. That curriculum is being implemented throughout the Nunavut regions right now. I am expecting to participate in the official launch of the curriculum some time in the next month or two. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
