Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I should take a moment to explain the process of funding that we provide to education boards. We fund the district education councils throughout the Northwest Territories and the two DEAs in Yellowknife, the district education authorities, the board, in other words. We do that on a pupil-teacher ratio. The boards themselves decide how to allocate that within the school system and create the classes. The principals of the schools then make up the class sizes. If there is a safety concern within a class and it is overcrowded, then of course we will look at that issue. I have a concern about this. This is an issue that Ms. Lee is bringing forward, and we will certainly look at seeing if there is an issue here with regard to safety. Thank you.
