Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Several times in this House we have heard from various Ministers, last week from the Education Minister, that there was no more money to rebase their budgets, but there are surpluses and slippage within individual departments. I am wondering would the Finance Minister commit to the House at this time that, when there is slippage, when there are surplus monies within individual departments, would he commit those funds to Mr. Dent to help him rebase Education so that our teachers are not in bad situations with overcrowded classrooms and so on. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
