Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as the Minister of Finance pointed out in his statement, in fact money has been put in, reinvested, in fact maintained to ensure that the pupil/teacher ratio did not increase. The lowering that the Member has asked about is better than an increase since it is already the highest in Canada. I share the Member's concern about the pupil/teacher ratio and as we move towards realizing more revenues I will be making every effort to ensure that we get the funds we need to lower the pupil/teacher ratio and start to address some of the broader education needs. Thank you.
