Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  You're absolutely correct. There are more dollars involved in it. The way it's working right now is that we generate, in terms of philanthropic resources, just over half a million dollars a year that goes into the teacher development program. Then Indigenous Services Canada is putting in about $400,000.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  There are a number of things involved, but number one is making sure that by the time students have completed grade 3 they can read at that level, because it's the single biggest predictor of whether or not students will graduate from high school. The research on that is unbelievable.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you very much. I have just a few things, to put it into context. Calgary Academy is a private school, for sure. We deal with LD kids, learning-disabled students. Typically, in the community school system, about 14% of LD kids graduate from high school. Our claim to fame is that we have the enviable record of a 100% graduation rate and 88% of the kids going on to post-secondary, so we have a track record there.
