As I said two weeks ago, this should be considered a children's crisis, Mr. Speaker. It should be a call to arms to find out any way we can to ensure that these kids are in school and graduating, because kids that do not graduate, their future does not look very bright, Mr. Speaker. When we talk about the Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline, you know, they talk about, well, we'll only hire kids with high school. Well, holy smokers! You've just said a lot of these kids out there, in the communities who this is supposed to benefit, can't get jobs. Mr. Speaker, what is the Education Minister doing, like Ontario, to encourage these kids to stay in school?
