Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If there is a concern for safety for the children in those communities, then it is incumbent on the DEAs and the Tlicho Community Services Agency to deal with that issue. Either they need to work with parents to make sure that somebody is walking with the children to school to make sure that they are safe, or they need to find some way to provide that transportation. But, Mr. Speaker, all of the money that we have within the department for schooling goes to schools. We don't keep any money available for other special projects. So right now, all of the money is being distributed. The money that has been approved in the budget for the next year is allocated to the DECs. There is no pot of money that I can draw on in order to provide extraordinary services. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
