Mr. Speaker, I am not disregarding the petition. We have explained why we have the system that we do. We have poured in $30 million, Mr. Speaker, over the last four years throughout the Territory in order to be equitable across the Territory. We have done it on the basis of reducing the pupil-teacher ratio across the Territory. We have done it on the basis of ensuring that student support is done across the Territory on an equitable basis. I think that is a good policy, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
