Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I just want to make it clear just so that everybody understands that the amount of funding that we put into the program is 15 percent of the total amount provided to schools. Funding is not just provided for 15 percent of the students who may be in need of support. Section 7 of the Education Act says that every student is entitled to have access to the education program in a regular instructional setting in the community in which the student resides, and that an education body shall provide a student with the support services necessary to give effect in accordance with the direction of the Minister. That means that every student is supposed to be receiving support right now.

We had a survey that was conducted in the year 2000 to assess the needs in the classroom. That was one of the reasons that the amount of funding was increased from eight percent to 15 percent. We are planning to continue to conduct that sort of survey on a regular basis. We will be doing one again this year.

In terms of accountability, we have a very extensive directive on inclusive schooling that is provided to all divisional educational councils or DEAs. They must follow that directive in order to qualify for the funding, and we demand accountability. We require the DECs and DEAs to report back to the department. So, yes, we are aware of how the money is being spent. Thank you.
