Mr. Chairman, the Minister says more likely to relate to the drop of students in our region. I find that hard to believe, because there were a number of students that graduated in our high schools and people want to come into the Sahtu region. It would be interesting to know that the Aurora College didn't have an instructor in the Sahtu and Tulita until January. Even then we had a hard time getting a place for an instructor. So it's not that you dropped the numbers because we couldn't get an instructor in September. So you can't blame it on our communities because they didn't have an instructor and not having the proper housing and all that. So there's no interest after awhile. So you know, to blame it maybe on the lack of students in our region is a poor excuse for dropping two numbers from the Sahtu. So again, is that the real reason for dropping these numbers here? Because we didn't get an Aurora College instructor in Tulita, we were supposed to have one in September, it didn't happen until January when they actually flew into Tulita. So there were no programs in our community.
