Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The problem with this is that there are other factors. There are forced growth situations of $2.9 million that weren't factored into that amount. The other thing is that there was an increase of $231,000 for the school formula due to growth. There was the issue of personnel. I don't want to confuse the honourable Member and not say that, yes, there will be a reduction of administrative costs but there's also been an ongoing increase and generally speaking, this does not take away from...

First of all, we have not reduced the surpluses that exist in the boards. The other point is that we've not taken away the opportunity for the boards, if there is an increase in their student population, to respond on a regular basis as is the normal case. I appreciate the concern but, again, it's an issue of trying to address the matter of our financial situation.

It's generally our view that there will be no significant problems. I can advise the honourable Member that if there are, I would be the first one to bring the issue back to my Cabinet colleagues. In the original discussions that we've had, it was as high as 10 per cent but I think that they now understand that it is about 2.5 and most of the boards have, in fact, responded very positively to this issue of the decrease.
