Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, regarding another statistic that is found within the Department of Education. I would like to ask the Minister about the comment he made about the quality of education in our communities.

I will use another statistic regarding high school students with diplomas. In Yellowknife, it is almost 30 percent. In the smaller communities, it is almost ten percent. That is one-third of what it is in the larger schools.

I would like to ask the Minister, where does he come up with the notion that the quality of education is great in our schools, considering we are not seeing the statistics when it comes to graduates?
