Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have another question on special needs, but I would also like to get the Minister to comment, in case I run out of time. I want to put this question in early.
With regard to the College, I have concerns that the heavy equipment program has been seriously undercapitalized over the years and we are running a fleet of equipment that is ancient and very expensive to maintain. I would like the Minister, after he answers my next question, if he would come back to that one. Because it is an issue and I am going to shortly be out of time.
The special needs issue, Mr. Chairman, and the level one, two and three. How you categorize special needs students is very significant. The question I would have is, how do you determine the students who are most in need?
The concern was that if we moved to per capita kind of funding arrangement, that the bigger you are, the more you get, regardless of the special need requirements, may not be the fairest, most equitable way. How do you determine, in each school, in each community, how many special needs students require an aid full time as opposed to just some modest support at the SNA?
That is a fundamental issue. If you define special needs wide enough, everybody has a special need. The thing is to try to bring a frame to it. At the extreme end, how are you going to define that? Thank you.
