Deputy Chairperson, I do know that we have a very committed chair in the select committee. What I will personally do is to take up the matter, discuss it with the hon member and ensure that we are able to raise this with the province. This will enable us to sort out the problem in the best interest of the school and the learners. Thank you very much.
