Yeah, thank you. Well, just do it. So in the -- I mean, I was part of the -- I was one of the MLAs who passed the statutory review, so I think it's important to do it. I think one thing we learned from COVID is when kids are out of class, education results suffer. All the evidence, all the science is showing us that, that -- if I could have, like, ten more seconds just to conclude my thought -- but, like, that is where the science is showing us that when you pull kids out of the classroom, academics suffer. And they still have not recovered from all that time that was lost during the pandemic. So I am extremely skeptic that more time out of the classroom is going to be useful, so I would strongly encourage the statutory review to be put -- to come back and for it to be implemented within the life of this government. Thank you.
