Thank you. I guess the Minister is considering talking about the possibility of extending or redefining maximizing northern employment to include maybe those who obtain certificates, rather than a conventional diploma degree. If the Minister wants to pursue that, that will be a good thing because I do believe this is a highly effective program. I hear nothing but good things about the maximizing northern employment program and having been a student myself, not too long ago, I know it's always difficult for secondary students to finish school. They come back and they want to work here and you know often they are told they don't have the experience, and it's really a good way by this program to get a foot in the door, prove themselves and gain the experience and so on.

But I'm looking more into general situations. What are we doing with the students that we are producing who have disabilities? I guess part of the difficulty in this area is the fact that there are just so many different categories of disability. It could be physical disability where they may need physical equipment and that would address that or hearing impairment, or in a more physical sense, but then we have a lot of disabilities that affect the level of learning or ability to have a normal life. I'm getting more concerned about the fact, and I've mentioned this in my other statements in the House, that we have embraced inclusionary policies to include all students with any category or extent of disability into our school system, but what do we do when they finish our Grade 12? What is the department doing? What programs are there to help them through the stage after they get Grade 12 in terms of them getting through school in post secondary education and then when they come back to work and come back to the North, to maximize their potential? Could the Minister advise me as to what specific program the department has to address this area? Thank you.
