Thank you, Madam Chair. And the Minister is very correct in that the Education Act really attempts to envision district education councils or, at the community level, district education authorities, maximizing the use of that facility in the community. So what you tend to see is a DEA developing their own policies around that. So, you know, after hours clubs, use of gym, use of facilities, and so on and so forth. So that's really how the structure of the system is set up to be able to put the onus on the community DEA who has the most, you know, awareness of what the community needs may be and are closer to that community conversation. So that's really how that would work. And any user group who may be interested in maximizing the use of that facility for whatever purpose can really, you know, have a conversation with their district education authority and certainly the principal at the school itself. Thank you, Madam Chair.
