Mr. Speaker, I have a question for Mr. Dent as the Minister for Education, Culture and Employment. It's a bit of a follow-up, Mr. Speaker, from an item that we discussed here in this Assembly last fall regarding the status of people who enter the adult basic education course, but who, in a lot of cases, Mr. Speaker, find themselves without the supports, without the cash flow to be able to continue in ABE and thus seem to end up back in that cycle of poverty and not being able to get ahead. When we discussed this in the fall, the Minister committed to looking at what could be done and I wanted to see if since then the department has looked into what we can do, Mr. Speaker, to improve supports for adult basic education students in the NWT.
