Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was made aware of that particular situation by Mr. Enook at a meeting I held with the chairman of the Baffin divisional board of education. I can confirm that particular instruction was given to the divisional board. It was as a result of concerns relating to the economy with regard to recruiting and the availability of teachers in eastern Canada. I also indicated to Mr. Enook that I would raise the particular matter with my colleague and see how he might address it or maintain the policy as was instructed. That is the extent of our discussion so far.
