Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on a twice annual basis, I meet with the chairs of the district education councils and authorities, and the superintendents meet with our staff at the same time. During those meetings, we have discussed the issue of funding, PTR and special needs funding, and I've given specific instructions that this money is to be used for the intended purpose to ensure that it goes into student needs funding, meaning that it should go into areas such as school consultants and program support teachers, supports for our students, for materials, supplies that they may need, special transportation and student support assistance and extraordinary situations where students my need some help. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
