Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question is in line with the other Members. It seems, because of the reduction in the number of teachers, the increase in the size of the classrooms and the differences that you see in a lot of the classrooms in the skill of the different students where you have students who may be in grade 7 or 8 and who are 15 or 16-years-old, compared to some other students who might be 12 or 13 years old, then combine that with the special needs students within those classrooms; it seems to really put a stress and a burden on the whole education system.

I think one thing that I have heard a lot about are the cuts that have taken place in the last couple years in regard to the Beaufort Delta region, where they have had to make special efforts to deal with this increasing problem which is basically in the area of students with FAE/FAS and that the special need's teachers are inadequate to deal with the problem. As I mentioned in my statement yesterday, what I got from the principal in Fort McPherson, from Kindergarten to grade 10 there are some 36 students who are in need of some sort of special need's team to assist them on a day-to-day basis.

I would like to ask the Minister exactly what is being done to improve that general sector, especially where it seems to be the majority of the problem are the large numbers of special needs teachers and the number of students they have to service within the education system today, which is really having a burden on the whole quality of education that is being delivered to all students, not just a small sector of them. I would like to ask the Minister, is there anything that they are looking at in this area to deal with the problem of special needs and the problems we see in our classrooms with FAE/FAS students?
