Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask a question that arises out of the situation at Sissons that we experienced last fall. I am not clear as to who is responsible for what I am trying to get at, but the overall thing that I learned from this -- and I may be wrong and could be corrected on this -- was the funding for schools boards is determined by the enrolment rate from the previous year. So what happens in situations where, because of the configuration of the classes or because of the make-up of the children, is there anything in place to do an assessment as to what the configuration of classes is and maybe the possibility of getting extra help? Is that at all the responsibility of the department or do you totally leave it up to the school boards and the schools to make allocations within the budget that they have?
