We are supporting the students in every way that we can that are in schools throughout the Northwest Territories. We provide the curriculum into the schools and funding to the school operations. The district education authority, the divisional educational board are the ones making these decisions. It is not just a bureaucratic decision; it is the board elected officials that make these decisions. I have to respect them, Mr. Speaker. I continue to work with them to improve in those areas. Not only that, Mr. Speaker, there has been some correspondence back and forth on the parents and the superintendent and also the divisional education board as well. There was a clear indication that a letter written to the parent, that the student does not qualify because the parents were down south. There was a policy that they have in place. That is what we have, Mr. Speaker.
