Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Like my colleagues, Mr. Erasmus, who has moved this motion and Mr. Henry, the MLA for Yellowknife South, I would also like to speak on this motion. My position will be to support this motion which I think is warranted. There certainly is a need for consistency in our education system. The methods of delivering the courses obviously do vary from region to region and possibly from school to school. As Mr. Erasmus said, if you move from one community, to another community, for example, if you move from Paulatuk to a larger centre, perhaps Fort Smith, which is a large centre, then perhaps the courses delivered are much more expensive and there may be inconsistencies in the courses.
Children then have to readjust to that situation and there may be difficulty for them to catch up. They may be at a different grade level which does need to be addressed. I, too, like my colleagues, feel that in all likelihood, the other Ordinary Members who have been drawn away inadvertently because of constituency pressures and needs would likely support this motion. Madam Chairperson, at the appropriate time, I would like to ask, and I am not sure if it is my prerogative to do this or whether it is the mover of the motion to do this, and perhaps I could pose it as a question to the chair, that we have a recorded vote on this motion. Perhaps Madam Chairperson could address that question for me if I may ask that there be a recorded vote.
