Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know that, you know, moving forward with certain programs such as Education Renewal and Innovation, Junior Kindergarten Program and other of the action plans that we had, and I know it was emphasized from the Standing Committee on Social Programs that they would be willing to support a supplementary appropriation for any of those programs that offset the costs that weren’t agreed to in our last main estimate sitting.
So, I’m wondering if the Minister would be looking, halfway through the year, at this Junior Kindergarten Program and whether or not program services are being effected within the education system and the Junior Kindergarten system. If his department would be looking at coming forth with supplementary appropriation to offset those costs and let the education authorities out there know that we support all the work that they do, whether they had a surplus before or a deficit. Will he be willing to come back with a supplementary appropriation halfway through the year, looking at the proposed budgets right now and the money that’s coming out of some education authorities right now? Thank you.
