I would like her to recall that, back in the spring, we were talking to the minister about on-reserve graduation rates. Both the minister and the deputy minister were surprised that, according to their department's results and plans, they were supposed to set a target for grad rates. I do not know if she remembers that conversation, but we were very surprised that neither one of them was aware of this rate that was supposed to be set. There was a lot of confusion in the room. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8109636\" data-originallang=\"en\">Finally, they came back and committed to us that there would be a rate set this fall. This was after an expected target for the graduation rate had been promised for two years. This fall, the target they came back with was to improve the graduation rates over and above what they were last year. It took two years to set that as a target.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8109637\" data-originallang=\"en\">Graduation rates are a very critical component of success. Could my colleague comment on how the department has failed indigenous kids in the context of not supporting them and not striving to achieve some targets? </p>",

Je l'invite \u00e0 se rappeler qu'au printemps, nous avons parl\u00e9 \u00e0 la ministre du taux d'obtention de dipl\u00f4me dans les r\u00e9serves. La ministre et la sous-ministre ont \u00e9t\u00e9 surprises d'apprendre que, selon le plan et les r\u00e9sultats minist\u00e9riels, elles devaient \u00e9tablir une cible de diplomation. Je ne sais pas si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e se souvient de cette conversation, mais nous \u00e9tions tr\u00e8s \u00e9tonn\u00e9s de voir qu'elles ne savaient pas qu'il fallait \u00e9tablir cet objectif. La confusion r\u00e9gnait dans la salle.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8109636\" data-originallang=\"en\">Elles ont finalement pris l'engagement qu'un objectif serait \u00e9tabli cet automne. Rappelons qu'un objectif de diplomation \u00e9tait promis depuis d\u00e9j\u00e0 deux ans. L'objectif qu'on nous a communiqu\u00e9 cet automne est simplement d'am\u00e9liorer le taux de diplomation pour qu'il soit sup\u00e9rieur \u00e0 celui de l'an dernier. Il a fallu deux ans pour \u00e9tablir cet objectif.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8109637\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les taux de diplomation jouent un r\u00f4le cl\u00e9 dans la r\u00e9ussite. La d\u00e9put\u00e9e pourrait-elle expliquer que le minist\u00e8re n\u00e9glige les enfants autochtones puisqu'il ne les soutient pas et ne s'efforce pas d'atteindre des objectifs?</p>"
