Currently, we have an NWT health curriculum already in place, as well as we are going to be doing work under the education, renewal, and innovation. Within the current NWT health curriculum, we are addressing outcomes of skills for healthy relationships as it is mandated, and one of the components of this program is a unit on challenging homophobia. It is actually linked to the website. Also, it is in the K to 9 curriculum, as well as we have other initiatives that are committed to ensuring that some of this work in the curriculum will address some of the concerns that the Member has brought up. We will also look at a scan of the resources, what other jurisdictions are doing that are a little bit further ahead. As I said, this is a new act, and we want to make it right, and we want to make it the best act possible. So we will look at the resources that are out there and see how we can bring those into the NWT schools as well.
