Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Education. I have had the opportunity now to review the criteria for funding access to school bus services in the NWT. I note that the department considers the age of the students, the distance from school, major safety hazards and the state of physical and mental health of the students when it is determining the amount of funding to be given to support transportation assistance. Can the Minister explain what consideration is given to weather factors, since one kilometre at 37 below zero is a much different challenge for young students than one kilometre at 15 below.
