Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be again for the Minister of Education, Mr. Miltenberger. This time I would like to again address the Minister's Forum on Education with regard to resources that are available in the classroom and to the teachers. Mr. Speaker, we have situations where new programs are introduced to the school system, but it seems that in many cases that adequate funding and resources are not supplied. I would like to make reference to a situation where we introduced the new math program and allocated a total of $350,000 to that program to introduce the new math program throughout the territories. The allocation, of course, was split amongst many jurisdictions. In one case, for example, one small school board had to introduce the program and it cost $100,000 but their only allocation was $30,000 to do this. My question for the Minister is, how does the department ensure that when a new program is introduced, they have a method of calculating the allocation of funds to deliver that program? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
