Thank you. I will move on to the various issues, Mr. Chairman. I also refer to the fact that there was restricted resource, and I gave the example that I was given where $350,000 was allocated for the implementation of a new math program, for example. However, in that case, the allocation was $26.14 per student and the math books themselves cost $22 and there was very little left for inservicing or other materials that might be needed to deliver the particular program. Can the Minister tell us, it does constrict what teachers can do in the classroom, when all the money goes for one textbook and they have no money left for any other service to deliver that particular program? Is the Minister aware of the kind of restrictions that are there and can this be addressed in some way in the upcoming year?
