Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement today, I talked about social workers and the need for social work training and the appropriate education that could rightly fit in at Aurora College.
As we all know, you can parachute somebody into the North but that doesn’t necessarily truly make them a Northerner. It’s almost something that has to be born and bred into your DNA. I’d like to ask the Minister of Education a particular question
about the department’s point of view when it comes to Northerners.
Does the department feel that trained, northern graduates who are Northerners have a longer-term investment into the future of the North? As such, do you think that Northerners represent the culture and language of communities better here in the North than southern transplants? Thank you.
