Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am advised the department uses in their formula calculations an average pupil/teacher ratio of 18.3 students per teacher. According to the official enrolment figures that were provided by the Baffin Divisional Education Council through the Baffin region, the average pupil/teacher ratio is 17.9. This is lower than the average across the territories and by formula. I am further advised that using the official enrolment figures as of October 31, 1997, the pupil/teacher ratio in Pangnirtung is 16.2 pupils to one teacher, which is considerably lower than the average across the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
