Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Education, the Honourable Jake Ootes. Yesterday I asked the Minister whether the department's position on income support was the result of a legal opinion or the department's interpretation of impact benefit agreements. I reviewed Hansard, and it was not clear why the department has taken the position it has.

I would like to ask the Minister if he could clarify whether it was a legal opinion or a departmental interpretation that guides how impact benefit agreement money is handled? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
