Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think one of the best measures of success of our students coming out the secondary system is how many of them can move successfully into the post-secondary system; how many can go on to college or to studies after high

school. We can assess that by looking at the student financial assistance record. We know that before we got into grade extensions, we were seeing in their best years about 34 percent of students who were going to post-secondary studies who were aboriginal. There were only about 842 students a year accessing student financial assistance at that time. Most recently, we are seeing over 1,500 students accessing student financial assistance. That is the current number. Our five-year average is about 1,440. Of those, 661, or 46 percent, are aboriginal. So we know we are seeing people in the smaller communities come to the school and being more and more successful getting into post-secondary studies. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
