I MOVE that this committee recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment assist local day care operators in dealing with their administrative burden and by offering quality support and advice to volunteer boards. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would just like to know what Mr. Dent meant by local, to assist local day cares. Are we talking local at the community level or just Yellowknife? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I had hoped that Members would not think that a standing committee of this Assembly would bring forward recommendations aimed at one community. This is clearly something we are intending to ensure there is support for day care operators in all localities.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I should have asked this question some time before as we go through the page-by-page, but we are talking about providing funds to education authorities. I asked a question in the House about the number of students who go through our education system and quit once they reach grade 10 because of the failure of the department to adequately teach them so that they are prepared for grade 10 when they get there. The Minister's response he gave this afternoon was totally insufficient.
They do not track that kind of information, and because of the number of students who are hitting that wall at grade 10, I think the department should start tracking that so we can get an exact determination of how many students are falling through the cracks in this area.
I would like to recommend to the department that they start doing that. I would do it in a committee motion but, Mr. Chairman, I do not think we have the time right now. I will use the honour system and I hope the Minister will honour this request. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we are interested in doing as much tracking as we possibly can to ensure that we see where our success is and where our bottlenecks are, where our hurtles are. Yes, I will take that with serious consideration, Mr. Chairman.
