Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A couple of things. One is, I would like to just touch on quickly, as my previous colleague from Yellowknife Centre touched on, with regard to funding that is being reduced from inclusive schooling and is moving over to the Department of Health for youth mental health. Can the department maybe explain a little bit how the determination was made for what amount would be switched over? The reason why I ask is because I am a strong proponent of inclusive schooling, and I see, though, a clear delineation between kids who are identified as having mental health issues versus those who are having cognitive learning disabilities that inclusive schooling is really supposed to pay a lot of attention to, and so I am concerned that we are reducing this particular pot. While I appreciate the other pot being increased, because I see that as a much-needed investment, I am concerned that the specific programming around inclusive schooling has lost some funding. Can the department maybe speak a little bit as to what impacts this might have on the actual inclusive schooling programming? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
