Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are a variety of programs that communities and schools and districts can choose from in the curriculum. Northern studies program is one, for example, and Dene Kede, as I mentioned. These are available. Also, schools can choose to provide first language in the aboriginal language if they so choose. So it is partially up to the community in consultation, of course, with the district education councils. A lot of authority is passed on at the community level in that respect. We do feel that the programs are consistent across the board. The curriculum is standard. Thank you.
