Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it will likely take a number of weeks before we could put some substantive information together that would clearly outline what is happening and why things are happening. We know it is happening; we have that information. But why that is happening may be subject to a number of factors, Mr. Speaker. It may be the enrollment has been declining in certain grades. Just looking at the number of students and community types here, for Grade 12, 1999 was 290 and in 2002 it's 220. We need to analyze what is happening there, Mr. Speaker. On the positive side, as I say, we have increased enrollments and increased graduation rates in the communities and by aboriginal students. Thank you.
