Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In our small communities such as Colville Lake or our larger centres like Norman Wells and Deline, some of these centres don't have chemistry labs, biology labs and physics and qualified teachers to teach it or they are overburdened by the number of students. That's what I am asking. For these students who are graduating from our smaller communities, they are only geared to go into certain trades or careers. If they wanted to be a doctor or a biologist, they have to take extra courses. In Yellowknife or Hay River, they have these facilities available. In smaller communities, we are challenged. I want to ask the Minister what is his department doing to make the same standard of education in our small communities rather than asking our students that these are the trades you can take or these are the courses you can take. If you want to get further into education, good luck in upgrading your skills to meet those requirements. What is the Minister doing to handle that issue? Thank you.
