It is important that we go to consistency of testing, that we are able to compare ourselves with ourselves; in other words, different school districts within the territory and that is one of the attractions of the Alberta testing process, which is important. That will help us tremendously. There is no doubt that ownership is important. We do have sometimes a difficulty of ensuring - and there is an issue with this - the confidentiality in some ways of these small schools. The information is provided back to the districts to see how districts are performing. We need to work this out in conjunction with the district education boards and the chairs, the school boards, to discuss the issue of more ownership of results and what needs to be done about results if there are difficulties and to celebrate the achievements. There is certainly no doubt that some schools are performing extremely well. Thank you.
