Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the business plans that are being prepared for this House to consider in the next budget, we have been given no reason to believe that we will see an increase in the amount of money coming into the department, therefore we are planning on pretty much the same funding going to schools in the budget which follows the current year budget.

What that means, Mr. Speaker, is a continued effective cut or a continued increase in the pupil/teacher ratio because as the school populations grow, if we only have the same number of dollars to provide to the divisional education councils to provide education, that means their classroom resources will have to be stretched further and further. So, in answer to the Member's question, I do not see an end coming to the cuts, the effective cuts. I think what we are talking about is trying to find ways to manage to deliver the programs effectively with the same amount of money that we have right now. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
