Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't think anybody could argue that Yellowknife or the Northwest Territories are the only jurisdictions with overwhelming population of students whose English is not a first language. Canada is changing. Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton or anywhere in Alberta, I am sure they have as much challenge as we do. I don't think we are really that different. I don't have a study to show that, but that is just one more argument that I am not prepared to accept there.

I have to ask the question about why are we doing the test then? I have been sitting in a parents' advisory group for at least six years. It was an issue when I got there in 1999-2000. They were talking about Alberta achievement tests. There is a controversy about it every time they take it. If the Minister feels that this is not an objective study for the North, you can't do a fair comparison of any kind that is worth anything, and you don't want to reveal it, why do we do it? Why don't we come up with a better system of figuring out how our kids are doing and how we could improve the system and use another tool to do it? Why do it? Why doesn't he just stop it, then? Could I ask that, please?
