Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. We will take that as a comment, so we don’t need to have the Minister answer any questions on that. Next on the list is Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One last question. Would the Minister be prepared to not only put in place a policy that would try to restrict the bringing of things that children are particularly allergic to into the schools, but also some type of a medical emergency response awareness within the school itself, because quite often these situations require immediate attention.

Some of them were set up as four, five-year terms, that I do know. Now the Minister said he’s going to go back and assess and see if there is a way of perhaps signing off on some of those contracts. I know it’s difficult...
