Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a couple questions on the opening statement of the Minister and one has to do with the kindergarten funding. The government will now provide full-time kindergarten funding so that now the schools could have money for the program they have been providing for a little while. But I'm interested in the net benefit of this funding in that there are going to be some changes to funding formula. I believe the funding formula that requires 60 percent of student attendance, for example, is going to come into play this year. Also, there is talk of adult students over 21 will not be included in the funding formula. So I'm interested in knowing what kind of impact that will have on the school system, I guess in particular to Yellowknife schools, because school boards get a global budget and then they have to distribute it to the schools. It's not always clear when we're approving money here how these funds will translate. I guess what I'm really interested in is, how much increase would the school boards be expected to see from these changes? Thank you.
