I would appreciate that information, although I probably know it, but it is good to have it on hard copy, Mr. Chairman. I would suggest that there could be anywhere between three and four grade levels that are in the same class. Couple that with special needs students, et cetera, putting pressures on the teachers. I spoke about that today in my Member's statement.
We are looking at a low level of graduation from our high schools, especially from those communities such as Lutselk'e. These are some of the symptomatic problems that I believe are resulting in the low graduation levels, resulting in low education levels, resulting in low professional levels of our people working on our behalf in our community governments, et cetera. Still, we use the utilization number to defend that we cannot invest into badly needed renovations or expansions of our schools. We know the problems, yet we defend it.
I do not understand where the department is coming from. Can I get some kind of commitment from the Minister that he will look into this, maybe even commit to me that he will visit Lutselk'e and take a tour around the school and get to know the teachers and the students a little bit more and really listen to the requests of the DEA personally? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
