Well, I'm surprised to hear that the Minister is not prepared to take a leadership role in this area. I don't think the question that I posed to the Minister is an onerous one, and it is not one, I don't think, that would cause the Minister and his staff a lot of trouble to deal with. What I said is, there is obviously a serious problem in our schools with drugs and I think the Minister of Education and the Department of Education has a role to play in trying to deal with this problem. I'll ask the Minister if he could correspond with the boards and offer the support of the department in trying to deal with this serious problem.
