Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With the formula funding, the boards can make their own decisions as to how much money they will put towards teachers, and they can change that. That is good to hear. Also, the Minister made mention that enrolment of students has an impact as to how much funding is allocated to the boards. I need more clarification. The Minister said that even though a particular school board may have growth of four percent from the previous year, but they in fact may be losing some money to an education board that would have growth of eight percent. Even though you are growing in your student population, you will be losing funding. Is that what the Minister is saying? Thank you.
