Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, before I sent the letter, I met with the chair and one other member of the board for YK 1 and suggested that with the letter that would be coming that it would be useful for me to meet with the entire board to discuss the situation. In the letter, I included a line inviting the board to meet with me and I have also suggested, since the letter has gone to the chair, that I am ready to meet with the entire board to discuss the situation. I think it's important to remember that there is an awful lot of vacant space in YK 1 and this isn't just about leasing space during the construction of St. Joe's or the reconstruction of St. Joe's, this is because they have so much space to spare that I have suggested they need to put the money that they're duplicating right now on services into the classroom, into services for children so that they get a better education. Mr. Speaker, I think that they're spending over $300,000 that they don't need to spend on administration that they could put into programs and services for kids. Thank you.
