Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the things we must look at when we deal with graduation rates is that yes, there is no doubt that some statistics out there state graduation rates are not happening in certain communities. In other communities, they are happening.

I was in a community in the Dogrib region last year, a small community, and they have eight graduates, Mr. Speaker, from high school. It happens in some communities, it does not happen in others.

What we do have to remember when we deal with graduation rates, Mr. Speaker, is that a lot of these students have dropped out or are in the process of dropping out. We do have graduation rates. Those who do drop out may move into the workforce for a period of time and they may move on.

What is not taken into account in graduation rates are those students who go into apprenticeships, those students who go into the Aurora College access programs or take adult basic education. We do not count those as statistics in graduation rates, Mr. Speaker. That is a real deterrent to our knowledge of saying we have this graduation rate, because there are a lot of people out there who have the qualifications to move on to university, to college, et cetera, and take programs. A lot of our tech program people, a lot of our nursing people who take access programs do not have a high school diploma, but they qualified to enter those programs through adult literacy or access. Thank you.
