Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you very much to the mover of this motion and the chair of the Standing Committee on Social Development. She's very passionate about this topic, and we spent a great deal of time at the standing committee talking about how we could incorporate these concerns into our report on Bill 8 when this issue of funding Indigenous communities and Indigenous students is relevant to every community in the Northwest Territories.

The school boards in Yellowknife, for example the English school boards, they have -- run a third of their funding comes from Jordan's Principle to support Indigenous students. And that's just scratching the surface of the actual need out there. So this is an important aspect of this work going forward to strengthen and support the education system and to correct the historic deficiencies in ensuring equal access to education and that has not been possible due to a colonial system. So I support this motion. I think it's important that we continue to advocate for Indigenous students regardless of community in the Northwest Territories and indeed in Canada as well. So I'm happy to support this motion, and I hope the Minister of education will support it as well and find a way to make more resources available to Indigenous students and Indigenous communities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
