Well Mr. Chairman, if all we can say is whether we can delete the $5000 or not, then I am not going to be able to have much to say. We should not delete the $5000. It is a worthwhile program to give parents the option of keeping their kids at school for extended grades, and the $5000 is to plan that initiative. So I think parental choice and community support are critical, and I think it is in Pond Inlet, I think it is quite unfair to tell those citizens that they do not have the right, just because they do not happen to live in a large centre that can justify a high school. Thank you.
