I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) The Getting it Right literacy and numeracy strategy will provide a more relevant curriculum and support for Aboriginal students as this strategy targets schools where the greatest literacy and numeracy needs have been identified. Hon B.M. Scott: You have used that answer three times in the last week. Hon G.T. GIFFARD: If that is not the answer to the question asked, I do not have the answer, and I ask that the question be put on notice.
