Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The effective behaviour support program is dedicated to assisting teachers to develop methodologies by which they can assist students with behavioural problems and to address those in the classrooms as well as in the hallways and the yard. So it's not the type of program whereby the support could be provided for the specific case I believe that the Member is referring to. That is done through the student support initiative we have, Mr. Speaker, whereby we fund it. We used to fund approximately eight percent to schools, and since the year 2000 we've increased that every year to 15 percent of school funding. So there has been an increase to address issues such as Mr. Roland has mentioned. Thank you.
