Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’m just curious that there is an increase in this budget, about $400,000 or so, $500,000 maybe. Could I get an explanation as to what this increase is attributed to? Thank you

Mahsi. The overall increase, obviously, is a Collective Agreement that we have to abide with, and it’s an area that we need to work with. So, it’s a Collective Agreement. Mahsi.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. So the impact of junior kindergarten is not reflected in these education authority contributions? Thank you.

We’ve been advised that there will be a reduction probably in the cost of the implementation of junior kindergarten in the ’15-16 school year. So I can anticipate, then, that the Collective Agreement increases are larger than the comparison of one school year to the next. It would also include, because there’s a reduction in JK. So it’s gone down because of JK, but it’s gone up because of? Maybe I’ll ask what the Collective Agreement increase is in dollars. That would be easier. Thank you.

The amount that we provide to education authorities, the total pot is $149 million. Of that $149 million, we’re internally funding junior kindergarten. So there is no reduction to the total pot because of that. It’s just how it’s reallocated among education authorities. In terms of what we provide for forced growth for a Collective Agreement, it’s $846,000. Thank you.

Thanks. I thought I understood how JK was funded, but now I’m confused again. Mr. Lovely said that it’s funded internally. Can I get an explanation of what he means by that? Thank you.

The total pot is limited. We have $150 million. It’s how we reallocate that internally from one education authority to the others for junior kindergarten. Thank you.
