Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I apologize for my earlier remark. Mr. Speaker, it is very frustrating as a Member to attend a meeting, to have teachers or any other individuals working for this government to come to me with legitimate complaints and the minute it involves schooling or education, we keep saying that that is the most important priority that we have to make sure that our people are educated. If they do not have the resources in place, if they do not have curriculum that seems to be place, if you do not have the textbooks; how can they do their job? If you are asking people to do more with less, you are going to get less done. Mr. Speaker, my followup question is, the Minister talked about the partnership, if the partnership has not made available the monies to have the resources or the ratio, maybe we should review this formula. Will the Minister look at reviewing the formula that is in place that gives the resources or the monetary amounts to the individual boards of education? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
