Mr. Speaker, I think the Member has used another example of where as governments were previous to ourselves and as we as the 16th Assembly have been working to expand

our services in the communities. Grade extensions is an example of that where we used to have the regional schools and the facilities of that nature. We have now reached back in the communities and that is one of the areas where parents have not even asked to send their students back to a regional facility because they feel that there are more opportunities at those facilities. The Member is right; schools were designed in a certain way because they didn’t have that level of programming.

Our challenge is, as we extend the grades, there is more demand for more of the courses and then to try to come up with the resources to do that. It would be an Assembly decision to expand to that level of programming in the communities. It means taking some dollars from another area of expenditures we are making now and reinvesting it. If that is the will of the Members of this Assembly, that is something we would have to look at and take up seriously. Thank you.
