Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Education in regard to my Member’s statement with regard to home boarding for the students of Tsiigehtchic who are attending high school because they do not have high school in Tsiigehtchic.

Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned, I received several inquiries from the parents of these children and the struggle they were having of trying to get their children placed in home boarding in Inuvik. Mr. Speaker, there were residences by the department or the Beaufort Divisional Board of Education and I’m not too sure what’s happened there, but apparently this has become an issue. I believe other communities have accessed this facility in the past, Sachs Harbour and other communities.

I’d like to ask the Minister of Education exactly what are we doing to ensure that those students that do not presently have high school in their communities and require high school elsewhere to ensure that we accommodate them by way of home boarding or having residences available to them so when they make that transition, that we are accommodating that educational experience? Thank you.
