Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I fully support the Minister and his comments in terms of getting the children to school and to get them on time, get them fed. They even now have food programs in the schools here, which is sponsored by some good companies to support the initiative of having educated children in the Northwest Territories. Mr. Chairman, the point I guess I would like to point again stresses that some students, as much as we do for them, they, today in life they have it so easy. I'm telling you, we live in a generation of easy living. You walk in the house, you flick the light on; you want water, you turn the tap on; if it's too cold, turn the button and it heats up the house. We don't even have to do anything. We've got a microwave. Instant food. Even got stores now when you're really hungry, you can go to the store and buy food. You don't have to go in the bush and shoot your caribou, and there's lots of caribou according to the Colville Lake people -- I spoke to the chief this afternoon -- lots of fat caribou out there.
So, Mr. Chairman, what I'm getting to is that the students today, the children today, through no fault of their own, live in a generation of almost luxury compared to some of the older people, where they have to work for it, earn it, and be very grateful and very humble. We want to give children a job and they quit school, they want 21 bucks, 22 bucks an hour. You offer them a job as a janitor or a custodial worker working in one of our local stores, he said, ah, 15, 16 bucks is too cheap. They complain. They work for six or seven dollars. Well, that's the choices they make in terms of not going to school. You get a job, and there's lots of jobs in the community. I guess I would agree with the Minister that there are some places that do not have very many jobs. But if they want to work, they can find work. So that's what I'm saying. True enough you get a higher education, you go further in your educational academic lifestyle, you would get a higher pay, more chance of getting work. I believe that and I've seen it work and I agree with the Minister 121 percent. I'm saying that for other messages, that we have find a to I don't know, that's the Minister's staff and his department will look at, I'm just saying, I sure would like to have some discussion later on in the time our session is over and this Assembly is concluded that we give some thought to it. At least give some thought to it. Not right now, but get the process going. That's all I have to say, Mr. Chairman. These children need it and deserve it, and I think we need to give it some thought to help them in the future. Mahsi cho.
