Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am very cautious of what I am taking on. Recognizing that we have six months left, this is one that is a priority for me, so yes. I have already asked the department to go cross-jurisdictional and look at how their funding formulas are done.

I do have to give credit to the MLA for Nahendeh, who first brought that to my attention, and it was a concern for me as well. I am looking across jurisdictions to see if there is a better way to fund. We are looking at lower enrolments in the Northwest Territories, so we can't keep basing it on enrolments if our numbers are going down. There will come a time when schools don't have the correct funding to be able to provide core services.

We are looking at doing a cross-jurisdictional review, and then, once that is done, there may possibly be a new funding formula. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
