Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In answer to Mr. Ballantyne's question, legally they would be called district education authorities and divisional education councils, but they could call themselves the board of education if they so choose. As they do now, their name is not exactly the name that is reflected in the current act, so they can continue to do so. The reason we have chosen different names is because the system is so entirely different. Also, we wanted to use one name for a district or a community education authority so that legally Yellowknife, as a community, is a district education authority as is Coral Harbour.
