Thank you. I want to leave that for now and deal with the statement that the Minister made on page 3 in regards to their planning. It says here, during the next fiscal year, we are planning specific action to support improved results at all levels of the school system, and that got me thinking about how is the Minister planning on doing this and just give us an idea about what he has in mind. Also, I would like to know; there have been some discussions in the city about the Alberta achievement test for the grade schools. In talking to some of the parents in my riding, there have been many discussions about that. There are some parents who do not agree with the department and the school boards and the Teachers' Association all agreeing that it is better not to release the results of Alberta achievement test. I have heard the arguments for not doing that, but the parents that I talked to are very keen and aware. They are very involved with their children at school. They want to know how their children are doing. I know that they are allowed to get the results of their own kids, but they do want to know how their kids are compared to others, how their school is doing or how the school system is doing in Yellowknife in terms of how they compare with Alberta, other schools, and what are the areas that they are doing really well at and what sort of areas they need to improve on. I would like to ask the Minister whether he would reconsider that decision and go some distance to make that information available? Thank you.
