Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In fact, the formula is adjusted by the distance between communities, the size of the population in a region and the size of the schools. An education council that has more small schools receives a higher proportion of funding per student than one that has larger schools. Yes, that sort of thing is factored into the formula. The formula is adjusted every year, or adjustments are considered every year, as the senior administrators in the department get together to discuss the formula. It is adjusted every year and it is certainly something that I discuss with the board chairs on a regular basis. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
