Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the last Legislature, an inclusive schooling directive was introduced and in our legislative time, our department and I have signed off on a student assessment evaluation and reporting directive. That paved the way for the department and staff to address the issues that are there and there. We want to ensure that student assessment processes are in place and that teachers have a mechanism by which to do that. As I mentioned yesterday, there are tests. There is also the teacher's ability to deal with the students. They know the students best as to whether they are functioning at the level that they should be functioning at. Those kinds of processes are in place up to Grade 9. As well, more and more we are introducing tests, but we are very dependent on the assessment processes of students and assessments are done by teachers, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
