Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have just heard the Finance Minister, Mr. Todd, suggest there was not much direction from this Assembly as to concerns with funding for education issues, in particular, teachers and programs. Mr. Speaker, I would like to point out that over the past number of years on many occasions, we have requested the Finance Minister to assure us there was adequate housing for teachers in the smaller communities while they were in the process of selling those assets. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Finance Minister if he would not reconsider, now that these issues have been brought out, that, in fact, housing requirements for teachers do take a large portion of funding out of their pay. Would he reconsider allowing those houses which are left in the smaller communities to be used by the teachers as they were in the past?
