Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Trying to follow that lucid response has left me somewhat dizzy. Mr. Speaker, there was a 42.8 percent cut to the bussing formula. The Minister is telling me that overall for the budget for the South Slave, there was only a five or six percent cut. I think is what he is telling me. The people in the South Slave indicate to me that has been an increase in student numbers and their costs are far exceeding the funding that has been specified for bussing, resulting in the possible application of prohibitive user fees or having to take money from other critical areas. So, can the Minister maybe clarify for me, the difference. Money is given for bussing. There has been a 43 percent cut. You are telling me that they are expected to find the money somewhere else in the budget? Thank you.
