Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I agree that the subject of treaties should be something that is extremely well studied in the Northwest Territories, in particular. I know that in our Teacher Education Program that issue is one that was highlighted. So the teachers are expected to be conversant and able to teach subjects around treaty. I think that it wouldn't stand as a subject alone. It is a key part of the social studies curriculum. It's up to the local community to make sure that the school recognizes that that's what they want. If they don't feel that there's enough emphasis being put on it right now, the local control that is offered through the district education authority would allow the local residents to ensure that more emphasis is provided on time for teaching that in the classroom. Thank you.
