Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think we should really look after our staff, who are doing an excellent job in providing education within the system, not only in teaching, but in communicating with parents as well. I have no problem in my community. The school principals are working very hard. I know that all of the school principals in the territories are working equally hard. I would like to note that we should provide the best benefit package to our teachers that we can in the system. Within the last two or three years now, teachers have been very concerned about their staff housing, rent, et cetera. I think we should really try to keep that in mind. It is not only the parent who provides education, the ability for the student to come out with a good education comes from the teacher, initially. Are we trying to take something away from the teachers and yet we expect that they will produce a good quality education for our children? We should keep that in mind. Thank you.
