Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm not sure. I guess it depends on the nature of the behavioural problems. I suppose, for instance, that a territorial treatment centre might be a facility that could be used for situations like that. But again, without knowing the specifics of the behaviour issues, it's hard to know. It may help the Member to know that I have advised the DEC Chairs that by this fall I will issue a directive that will stipulate what is acceptable use for the funds that are provided to deal with special needs. I am not certain that the school support funding has been spent appropriately in the past, and I am planning to issue a directive by this fall, which will stipulate just what services are acceptable for inclusion under that $16 million that I've been talking about. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
