Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, on the shortfalls for various divisional boards of education -- and it has been explained to me that these costs are only a portion of the board costs that relate to services provided by the government -- I would like to ask the Minister of Finance there are some pretty healthy numbers here just from the detail provided to me, I see that the Keewatin divisional board overspent their budget by $740,000 last...No, $1.135 million last year. There was a sizeable overexpenditure in the South Slave the previous year, and $332,000 in the Sahtu. I'm just picking a few here from the information given to me.
Mr. Chairman, I guess what I would like to ask the Minister is, is there a policy in the Government of the Northwest Territories to require boards of education to manage their money through recovering deficits and allowing them to retain a portion of surpluses, the way we deal with hamlets, for example? I know there are incentives of that kind in place. Does the Department of Education have similar incentives to encourage good financial management for divisional boards of education? Thank you.
