The department reviews it for certain legal implications, any changes in financial implications, it would be looked at, as well, for standards and if there was a problem, then the department would discuss it with the divisional board and changes may be made. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On the school boards, there are a number of different school boards, and they all have varying amounts of funding. Can the Minister tell me how funding is determined to each particular school board? Is it done on a per capita basis, or what? Thank you.
