Thank you, Madam Chair. So as mentioned previously in response to a different question, the implementation plan associated with transitioning towards the British Columbia curriculum is being developed but there are a number of factors that are being taken into consideration. Definitely the cost of the curriculum itself, British Columbia has indicated that there will be no costs. So that's something that was very favourable. There will, of course, be professional development costs associated with training teachers to become familiar with this competency-based curriculum. But we are funded for that. As mentioned previously, the collective agreement provides funding for additional teacher directed professional development. So the cost associated with this, we believe, can be borne within the department's existing budget. Thank you, Madam Chair.
