Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department saves a portion of the grants that goes to the education councils until after we receive the final figures from October 31st telling us what the school populations were. If school populations are eight percent higher than what had been projected, the funds can be reallocated to help those schools that are feeling the pressure to deal with the need for extra teaching staff. That is a process which is for all councils across the territories, so it was not just done on a school-by-school basis. The boards applied for it, depending on their need. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
