Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will be speaking in my language in regard to education. I will take it from where Mr. Evaloarjuk left off.
(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As Mr. Evaloarjuk had stated with regard to education, this is not the first time we have heard this concern. We have heard this concern brought up before in the past as to the lack of funding with regard to education issues. Mr. Evaloarjuk usually brings up concerns with regard to lack of funding for Baffin. It is also a problem for Kitikmeot, for some of my ridings, Mr. Speaker. We always hear the education is important for our children. It is important for our children to attend school as a young child and as well as a high school student. They are encouraged to go to school and if school-aged children are not going to school anymore, then the Department of Education or other departments will go to the parents and tell them they have to go to court because their children are not attending school.
If we are serious about education, we have to be serious about allocating enough funding for education in the different regions. Mr. Speaker, we want our concerns to be heard. This is the only way of continuing education by allowing and giving enough funding for educational purposes. Let us find some other way to allocate funds for educational purposes. I would like to thank Mr. Evaloarjuk for his concern. Thank you, as well, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends)
