Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is one of the reasons that we have the local administration through the boards or, the Member's region, the Tlicho Community Services Agency. They can set up policies that would allow for an excused absence, including the reason that the Member has brought forward. That sort of flexibility is already built into the system. The agency will have to make sure that the student still gets the schooling that is required during the year, but that can be an excused absence as long as it fits within their policy. That is what we leave to the agencies, the DECs and the DEAs, to set those policies in place to make sure that can happen. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
