Great, thanks for the answer. That makes sense. One of the things that has occurred to me – and I’ve expressed this in my opening comments about the difference in the standards or levels of education that students achieve depending upon where they live and what school they attend – is that high school students in particular probably don’t take the high school courses that they need to get themselves into post-secondary institutions because I don’t think they understand, nor do their parents understand, courses that are required for them to get into a post-secondary course or institution.

Thank you. Committee, we are on page 7-17, Public Works and Services, activity summary, asset management, operations expenditure summary, $82.229 million.

So this is an on-line program. So it’s not a classroom taught program? My question was also whether this certificate was recognized nationally or not.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Minister Abernethy, maybe we could commit to provide a better explanation. I’m not sure if you have something else that will help us get to the bottom of this. Minister Abernethy.

Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort in the witnesses. Does committee agree we bring the witnesses in?

My question related more to the security of information. It wasn’t an Auditor General’s report recommendation; it was from the Information and Privacy Commissioner. There was a concern on her part that not only Education but every department isn’t necessarily securing their data as well as they should. To that, to the security of data within the department, could the Minister make some comment? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Lewis. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks to the Minister for that comprehensive list. I didn’t hear much in there about how we promote our artists’ sales, how we get their products out there and they get the money. I appreciate that there is a database coming, but I don’t think we need a database to link those artists who already have an on-line presence to the NWT Tourism website. I think it is a matter of e-mailing them and asking them for their connection and then we get TSC to do it. Will the Minister commit to do that in the very near future as opposed to waiting for the plans that he has? Thank...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have a question here with regard to the change in revenue for the Cooperation Agreement for French and Aboriginal Languages. I know that from the revised main estimates for 2011-12 to the main estimates for 2012-13 there is a significant drop in revenue. I wondered if I could get an explanation. Thank you.
