Mr. Chairman, thanks for the Minister’s remarks. I think the Yellowknives Dene will appreciate that work and will be right there participating.
I just want to say, before I move on, that I am very pleased with about 15 percent increase to the budget for official languages and I want to recognize the Minister for carving out those dollars. I know there are many competing demands, so that extra $1.1 million is going to be an important contribution. I think we need it, obviously, to follow up on the new Languages Strategy.
I just had a quick question on inclusive schooling. We chatted about this quite a bit last year and it is a program that has been adapted in the Northwest Territories, as I understand from my questioning at that time. Because of findings elsewhere, we have never done the analysis to see if that actually applies in the Northwest Territories, where I think we are all prepared to recognize that we have a somewhat unique situation and, personally, I do question the applicability of the data elsewhere to our situation. I am wondering if the Minister has done any research. Has his staff done any research and evaluation of inclusive schooling, comparing it with the previous tradition, we will call it, in assessing student graduation rates in the Northwest Territories?
