Can the Minister inform this House that he will be or is going to work with the federal government, the other governments in the Northwest Territories and this government to look at how successfully we can track the students that finish grade 12, are able to get into a post-secondary institution or college, if that person is not able to get into college or university, and if there are support mechanisms in the small communities to allow him or her to get to a place where she or he is able to enter into a program? In the Sahtu alone with high school diplomas or more there’s 52 percent of young students who receive high school diplomas. In Yellowknife it’s 82 percent. In Hay River, Fort Smith, and Inuvik it’s 72 percent. There are gaps that really need to be closed. I’m asking the Minister if he will consider working with other governments to see that these young students do have a chance at college or university courses.
