Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to follow up with my Member’s statement today. I have questions today for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.
In the budget address it mentions that one-third of our NWT children start school already significantly behind in their overall health and development. I want to ask the Minister, with the data collection, does he see those stats as per norm that we see in the small communities?
Would the Minister give us any kind of indication what those stats are in the small communities and how he plans to address those challenges, those problems that we have with children being behind in their health and their development? Does he have the stats for the small communities? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
