Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I feel like by the question, the Member already knows the answer. Absolutely, our education outcomes are linked to employment a hundred percent. And this is why within the Northwest Territories we're doing things like looking at the ELCC program in conjunction with the Government of Canada and making sure that our ELCC service providers have education and certification that they need in order to provide support at the zero to age 4 level. Then we're looking at our curriculum renewal. We're switching to the BC curriculum which is also going to help out. We were looking at -- you know, our students need school-based mental health and wellness because they need to be mentally cared for in order to be able to learn at the end of the day. So this is a huge focus of mine. The other piece around this is our review of the Education Act which is also taking place in this Assembly. And then there is also, of course, the new post-secondary education legislation that was passed in the last Assembly to make sure that the post-secondary education that is being offered to Northerners is quality education so that we can ensure that we have a robust workforce at the end of the day. And it is absolutely all connected. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
