Mahsi, Mr. Chair. This is an area that has been brought to our attention and to this House as well. As you know, the money has been allocated to the school boards, but at the same time I am listening to what the Members are saying, the concerns that have been brought to our attention. We may have to look at those areas. At the same time, we do provide grade extensions as well. Based on the number of students, we can provide funding so they can kick-start grade extensions in their home community. Again, it all depends on the students, if they want to pursue, whether it be Inuvik or a bigger, larger centre, it will be their choice to do that. The money would flow with them, meaning the school board would lose money but the bigger centres will gain funding based on the number of students. Mr. Chair, this is an area that has been brought up before. I need to look at this and see where we can go with it. Mahsi.
