Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I hope that we will be able to have that information before we conclude the department's budget. I look forward to receiving that.
I would like to talk now about northern teachers. One of the things that Mr. Nerysoo started when he was Minister of Education was he set a target for a number of northern teachers we would have by the year of 2000. I believe that he had set a target of 50 percent. I know we did not achieve that target in the North.
The government of the day committed to renew the attempt to reach that level, I believe it was by the year 2003. I would like to ask the Minister will he again commit and ensure that the department puts the resources necessary into the program to make sure that by 2003, or at the latest 2004, that we achieve the level that was set many years ago? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
