Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We talk a lot about what the department has done, and the pupil/teacher ratios, and I agree that that's been a very important area and the department has done an awful lot and put a lot of money into that area. Obviously, some schools have benefited a lot more from this program for reducing pupil/teacher ratios. The smaller schools have probably benefited a lot more than the larger schools on this. I think we still have some ways to go. I look at some of the schools and the number of parents who come in on a daily basis, who help out in the schools. They do a great job and they need to be recognized. Could the Minister comment on whether he is aware of how many volunteers we have coming into our schools to help out on a daily basis, and what's being done to recognize volunteers who do come into the schools to help out?
