Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the talk recently about education and the achievements made by students compared to the national averages has reminded me of an issue that I raised with my colleagues here when business plans were going through in a previous year and then followed up with the Minister in the area of the level of programming that we have within the NWT. For example, Mr. Speaker, right now we have a general program, I believe it was qualified as, where students in high school go into 16, 26, 36 level courses whether it be math, social studies or those areas.

I would like to know if the Minister and his department have done anything to change this because it does not meet the requirements of students nowadays. My concern is that there are a lot of students, especially when you look at the amount of aboriginal students that are in that program. I would like to know if his department has done anything to improve programming in that area to make sure that students taking those courses in our high school system are going to achieve a grade 12 diploma and be able to work with that diploma? Thank you.
