The issue of opinions is always subjective. It depends on the facts, whether or not it is community concerns that are raised, public concerns, a district raising concerns about the conduct of the divisional board, et cetera. It could be some of the financial information we are getting indicating that there are problems in terms of fiscal responsibility. It could be that we are getting reports in which the student progress is such that we are unhappy with the results. Those are all considerations. We need to get all the information before a Minister can make any kind of decision. It has to be clear that whatever occurs, the Minister is acting fairly and with due consideration of all the facts and issues. If not, the Minister could find himself in court as quick as anything. It is one thing for people to put forward the facts and issues as they are; it is another thing to accuse innocent people of certain conduct without the information before you. We have to be very careful on the utilization of this authority. Those are considerations: the facts and the issues.
