Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to touch on percentages. In the Northwest Territories, we seem to have a lot of percentages, especially in the aboriginal community. We have a high percentage of drop out rates in school, a high percentage of unemployment, a high percentage of health problems, high percentage of illiteracy. These are all areas that are very important.
Then we go to the other side, which is still very important. We have a very low percentage of high school graduates, a very low percentage of university graduates. Those are all concerns of mine. What is even a bigger concern, Mr. Chairman, is the very low percentage of aboriginal speaking people in the Northwest Territories. We are failing at educating them and we are failing them on preserving and enhancing it. A lot of that responsibility lies within the Department of Education, Culture and Employment.
I would like to give some suggestions for possible remedies to these problems. One of the areas I would like to ask the Minister about, and I will suggest a solution, if he gives me time with his quick answers. I have a table here that speaks to the aboriginal communities funding levels for language development. It is broken down into Chipewyan, Cree, Dogrib, Gwich'in, Inuvialuit, North Slavey, and South Slavey. It gives a percentage of the population based on census. They then compare it to another census. They give you a percentage of the total population and funding accordingly. I sure would like to see the French people moved out and be put in this table. If I could get that by tomorrow, it would be nice. Can the Minister commit to that for me please?
