Yes, I agree that it has to be addressed with the boards. I would like to ask the Minister if the department is not responsible to ensure that students are receiving education in an acceptable environment according to departmental standards. Clearly the department is responsible for setting the standards and the boards will follow their directions. Do they not have standards with regard to what an acceptable environment is? Classes in broom closets, I would think -- I do not have the standards in front of me -- is not acceptable. Can the Minister speak to this?
