Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would ask that maybe we should have used graduation statistics because graduate students, when they have to take college entrance exams, their education level is far below Grade 12. We've seen that proven in the past. So let's gauge it towards how well we are educating our students. Mr. Speaker, the newspaper reported that housing is a major issue in the retention of teachers. For the recruitment of teachers, housing is a major role. We know that. Yet we are not doing anything about it because of a policy decision we made years ago. If we make a mistake, shouldn't we own up to that mistake? I would like to get a commitment that that comparison be done, and let's review the policy of getting out of staff housing for government. We know in our communities we are fighting for our housing already, and it's not fair for anybody to live in a church or a health centre or have to share a unit among four people. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
