Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think it would be totally inappropriate for any Member to oppose this motion. We have all spoken earlier this week about the need for additional resources in education. I am somewhat miffed by the demand of it, that we put $5 million in. But I would like to clarify for the Minister that I would like to see this particular money coming from within the department. I would like every stone turned over to try and provide the funds that are required for the special needs that are asked for in this motion here. Mr. Speaker, I would very much encourage the Members of the social committee to work a lot closer with Members on this side of the House long before an item like this gets to this Legislature and if they will attend the meetings and make sure these other Members in this House are very aware of what they are proposing, it would be much easier to work collectively and support a motion like this. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
