Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a quick question to the junior kindergarten upgrades. I'm not sure if this has to do with the, I believe it is, a little over $15,000 per community that was going to take on junior kindergarten, but I believe last year was the cut-off, I believe, for schools that were willing to take on junior kindergarten. If they didn't, then there's a possibility that they'd lose that funding. So, since we're carrying this over, I would like to say, if this coming school year, if a school wanted to do JK, would they still get that amount of money? Thank you.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this is for an amount in capital upgrades to support addition of junior kindergarten classrooms to existing facilities. The short answer is no, they won't lose that funding. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. We're requesting carry-over here to use funding to access the Government of Canada Post-Secondary Strategic Investment Funding Initiative, and the initiative requires that we match funding in order to secure federal funding. As to the actual projects, I don't have that detail, but I can commit to putting that information together for the Member. Thank you.
