Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, the effect of urbanization is affecting not only the Northwest Territories; it's small communities throughout Canada; internationally, actually. It is happening that people are moving from smaller communities into the regional or larger community centres because there are more opportunities there. So we have to work on it.
Pathways, like I talked about, making people look at their options earlier is one way. One new thing that we're actually doing as well, and I have to thank the MLA who brought it up in the community of Ulukhaktok, having three graduates who did the distance education program with supports, not on their own, it's not like home studies, shows that it's working. That was a pilot. We need to expand on that.
We have the small communities one that we're working with, and actually, we're working closely with MLAs in our small community committee to look at how we can actually put more economy, more opportunities, within the communities to support them. So we will do what we can to make sure we provide as much supports not only to children, but adults within small communities.
We also have a freedom of mobility within a constitutional right that, even though we'll do whatever we can, people have the right to be mobile and to move. It might not be ideal. So we will provide what we can to support and to sustain small communities, but we will not limit people from being able to migrate as they want.
