Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the Member bringing this forward. I know there's concern in small communities with regard to the funding process that we use. It is done on a per capita basis. There's some additional funding provided when grades are extended to grades 10, 11 and 12. That's all based on a formula, as the Member has said.

Mr. Speaker, in order to look at this particular question we have to be consistent across the Territories with all small schools and it is different than large high schools. I understand what the Member is saying and if you'll give me a moment, what I'm saying, Mr. Speaker, is that we need to identify the smaller communities and look at this process and see what kind of difficulties are arising for the small communities in this. From that base we could look at seeing what could be developed in regard to the funding process. It will mean a change in the funding formula that's provided for schools throughout the Territories, but I think the Member brings up a very good point. Thank you.
