Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That may be the case in certain instances, but I do want to say to the honourable Member, the boards were advised approximately 18 to 20 months ago that we would be moving to ensure the development of community high school programs, which allowed them to recognize that part of the planning process, included this reduction of services in the regions. The fact is, the advance notice was given. The problem is that some of the boards do not wish to relinquish any of the resources that are available. If they're not prepared to do that, they're not prepared to look at any other options. The possibilities are there for the colleges to be part of the buildings; the possibilities are there that there would be reduced accommodations available, rather than having the larger centres, that it be smaller centres; that's the kind of stuff that we have to look at. The problem is that the boards -- and I know that the director of the Baffin Divisional Board of Education is being quite adamant and difficult about trying to look at the options available to her and, as such, is not prepared to consider any options.
