Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to just follow up on that comment and then I have a question. I, too, would like to encourage the

Minister and also the Department of Education, Culture and Employment to not narrow the vision of using an existing school for the college but to consider all schools. When looking at this facility study, don’t just look at Sissons but look at all schools. It may be that there is another school which may be more appropriate or the land around it may be more appropriate for a college. It is certainly going to require some reprofiling of students, which is going to raise some alarms, but I guess I would just encourage everybody to keep an open mind.

I do have a question with regards to the line item for high school career and technology studies. It was my understanding, I believe when I asked the question at committee, this is a fund which is available through the education authorities and schools can apply I think to the education authorities for funds to try and enhance the technology and the trades programs within individual schools. It was also my understanding that this was for small schools only. My question is whether or not this expenditure can be considered for a small school which happens to be in my riding, which is Ecole Allain St-Cyr. If I could have an answer to that question. Thank you.
