Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We need to be careful that we are not using these tests for comparison purposes, because we can't. These tests are administered in our jurisdiction in a far different way than they are anywhere else that they are used. We don't allow or don't have the exclusions that are found in other jurisdictions, so that means that all of our students are participating in these exams whether they are on an individual education program or a modified program. In many other jurisdictions, that doesn't happen. So we don't have comparison.

These tests are designed for us to take a look at over time. This year, we have baseline information. As we get the next five years' results, we will have an indication of whether or not our system is improving. That is the sole purpose for these tests. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
