Thank you, Mr. Chairman, while I did speak to the committee earlier on this morning I did indicate to them, as I have said many times, you cannot spend what you do not have. However, recognizing that and recognizing the priority the House placed on education along with a number of other issues, my colleague, Mr. Dent, is working aggressively to try to address both, on the special needs side of education, where there is a desperate need. Also, of course, as my colleague indicates, on the pupil/teacher ratio. However, again there are some limitations. We are determined as I have said on a number of occasions, with the support of the House, to ensure we meet a balanced budget. Hopefully at the end of the day we will be able to. I cannot promise we will be able to bring forward the possibility of some appropriations at a later date on some additional dollars that may be required in that area.
The fiscal reality is we are not in a position today to expend money we do not have. Mr. Dent is, I believe, working towards that and it will be part of the business planning process which you will enter into in the next two or three weeks. At that time, it will give you a clear opportunity to provide the government, both myself and the Cabinet Ministers, with some direction as to where you feel the money should go. Thank you.
