Statements in Debates

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 36)

I’m sure the Minister will receive more questions on this topic later today. I have heard the Minister say countless times, and many times, that the graduation rates in small communities have declined. This is a disturbing trend and I think everyone here is very concerned. All the more reason to avoid, in my humble opinion, diverting funding from K to 12 to junior kindergarten.

My question to the Minister of ECE is: How can graduation rates in these small communities be improved if ECE is just pulling away money from K to 12 and just putting it into junior kindergarten?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to introduce to you and through you a number of people. Some of them have been introduced here today but I think I need to re-emphasize that. From Range Lake we have Mr. Mike Huvenaars, superintendent, and on the floor of the House here we have Page Sommer Snow, who is with us here. I would like to thank all the Pages. They have done a good job this week. Of course, our students, as indicated, our proceedings go a lot better with our students here in the gallery, and of course, our board chair is here with us today.
