Thanks to the Minister. I appreciate the indication of timing. It’s good to hear that the directive would be included as part of the review.

I have another question with regard to schools, particularly high schools and high school curriculum and the supports for students in high school.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a number of questions. This section covers quite a bit, so I may jump around a little. I would like to first of all ask about – and this might have been asked before and I apologize if it has – the Early Childhood Development Program which is under education and culture.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Maybe you should advise… Oh, the clerk is looking after your earpiece item. Mr. Abernethy, I think the question is where do these numbers show up elsewhere in the budget. Mr. Abernethy.
