Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Education, Mr. Dent. It is in relation to my opening statement and the problems that we see arriving in our communities. One of the big concerns you may have heard on the radio and it has been in the news, is the problem in the Beaufort Delta region with over-crowding in our classrooms and also a wide range of student needs with regard to books, computers, equipment for science, chemistry projects, which are not available in a lot of our smaller communities. There is a high number of special needs students which are being identified in our communities, but do not have the adequate services to allow them the ability to partake in a lot of these classroom projects. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, what is being done to deal with the problem in regard to the whole area of overcrowding and the high enrolments we see in our classrooms, and with cuts we have taken regarding teachers and assistants at this time? Can the Minister tell me exactly what is being done to improve in the area of allowing for more teachers in our classrooms? Thank you.
