(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First, I would like to thank the Minister of Education and his staff, as well to thank the Social Programs Committee for producing some money to be used for education. Mr. Chairman, I would like to say that funding, which is allocated for education, was the most in all the funding that was allocated to departments in the government. I know that there are a lot of people are saying that the money that was allocated for education is insufficient. We all realize, as Members, that the funding is not adequate because we have heard from regional education boards and from principals and teachers, as well have told us that there is not enough money for education in the communities. As well, the student/teacher ratio is a problem area as well. The problem is students are feeling the crunch in classroom space and I will also be supporting my colleagues to get more funding to be used for education purposes. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
