Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is also for the Minister responsible for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Ootes. In the Department of Education, Culture and Employment's document, Towards Excellence, A Report on Education in the NWT 1999, on page 24, it is stated:
"Two thirds of communities do not have learning centres or adult basic education. Options for mature students wishing to complete grade 12 in their community are limited to school."
The report goes on to say:
"Given the increase in the number of students at the secondary level, and the changing demographics of that population, there is a need to consider funding to meet the needs of mature students."
Has the Department of Education, Culture and Employment made any headway in addressing this issue raised in their report, this being there is a need to consider securing funding to meet the needs of mature students? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
