Thank you, Madam Chair. This almost feels like a trick question or something. My understanding is that any student who is interested or has the capabilities to be able to take the higher subjects would be allowed those opportunities, just like any other student in any other school in the Northwest Territories, but not all students would be interested. They have the option, but not all students want to be a brain surgeon or go to university. Some students are more interested in trades, and that's why we also have the pathways program. It's about picking out where students want to go. Some students, like my one son, decide to take all the lower grades, and now he's paying the price. Hopefully, all students who are interested, Madam Chair, all students who have the abilities would be promoted to take this. Thank you, Madam Chair.
