Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have questions about some of the trends that I see here on the item number one, two, three, four, five, six, for example, for schools. We allocated $104 million in the year 2005-04, and last year the allocation was much lower, at $95 million but the actual expenditure is $99 million, and now this year it's $101 million. So is this where we're funding...What explains that downward trend, I guess? I want to know what's included in this item. There are lots of other downward trends in this area. Are we looking at a lower number of students? My understanding is that we are funding better in many areas. We're funding for kindergarten, we're funding more for special needs. So could I just get that explanation, please, just on that item to start with?
