Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have a selection of programs that are offered in the curriculum, such as Dene Kede, Northern Studies. However, we have devolved a lot of the responsibility on to the communities and on to the regions to be able to offer these programs, such as the selection of an aboriginal language as a first language for teaching. I cannot dictate what communities should choose from that particular program that may be available.
I meet on a semi-annual basis with the chairs of the district education councils and we discuss various issues. In order to enforce any kind of program, I would have to deal with the district education councils.
Now, I understand what Mr. Nitah is saying and I believe we are doing a fairly decent job in advancing the particular agenda that Mr. Nitah is trying to address. For example, when I was in Deline, it was requested that we include land claims issues in the curriculum and I brought that forward to the department. They are, at the present time as we are speaking, looking at ways and means of doing that to deliver that as a possible content in the curriculum. Thank you.
