Mahsi for that clarification. At the same time, there is a change coming on the 60 percent versus 40 percent attendance. I'm just wondering what kind of impact it would have on the schools. Right now, we are hearing issues already in the community that if there are changes from 40 to 60 percent, some schools may struggle. I am sure the department has done their research and homework. What kind of impact would it have in each region? Before I sign off, just getting back to my first question is, the students who will be absent and excused. I guess there are two different areas where they are in school and on the land. They are excusable for sure, but aside from the school, let's say Tuesday to Friday, they decide to go out on the land with their elders and they are supposed to be in school, but the elder goes to school to say I would like to take out my granddaughter or daughter because we need to go muskrat hunting, or whatever the case may be. That was my initial question. If they will be excused in that area where we, as a community service authority, know certain people that go out on the land. The teachers would know if the students were lying, that they will be sleeping in or whatever the case may be. Small schools know elders that usually go out on the land. That was my initial question. I think the Minister answered during the school program. That is fine, but when they are excused from the school to go out on the land, are they excused? Mahsi.
