Mr. Speaker, I would like to make it clear that I'm all for community high school programs, but I think a high school program in a community is not a high school program if it doesn't include the matriculation or advanced diploma option. Mr. Speaker, I know that the Minister has assured us repeatedly that all options are open and no decisions have been made to close regional residences, although I think we've been given some indications to the contrary: like the 2010 strategy; like the terms of reference of the consultant's report; and, like the proposed new draft funding formula. But, I would like to ask the Minister, if he ends up making a decision to close the regional residences down, what would happen to students who are now in those residences who are, say, in grade 10 and who are doing well? Would those students be grandfathered and allowed to complete the course of their high school education? Thank you.
