Thank you. I agree with the Minister that it's up to local control; however, sometimes this control falls under the Education Act, which is also the responsibility of the Minister and shared by the divisional education board. My question is that the land claims and the treaties should be a core subject in the schools, regardless. It should be, without question, supported by this government in terms of being a core subject. Right now, it's an option. We run into many barriers that do not put this type of issue into our schools. Our children should be learning it. My question, again, when or how could his department give us something that would say the land claims and the treaties are a core subject like math, reading and arithmetic, that our children will start to understand? Because that's something they're going to live by in the future. Thank you.
