Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do agree with the Minister that the turnover rates of 18 percent might represent the territorial perspective, but if you take Yellowknife, Hay River, Fort Smith and Inuvik out of the picture, I would assume that the turnover rate is probably more like 50 percent plus, which costs this government quit a bit. We say our children are our greatest resources. Maybe the government and the department should be getting back to public housing to ensure housing availability for teachers is there and that the comfort relationship between students and teachers is recreated, so we may increase the graduation rates of our students, so we can prepare for the economy of the day. Would the Minister take that suggestion to his colleagues and discuss it and bring the answer back to us along with the costs associated with turnaround? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
