Thank you. That's an excellent question.
There are two aspects to the education element. One is that there are marginal increases that go to education. As I indicated, there's a 2% cap on funding in general.
What happens, and I'll use Alberta as a particular example, is that when the CHST and other transfers are increased and the province as well is able to invest more in education, the average cost of education increases.
For first nations in Alberta, say the situation is that on the reserve there's a school up to grade 8 and that what is expected out of their budget is that they provide for the tuition agreements for the students who would go to the local city or municipality to high school. Those amounts that go for the students in the high school are paid at the provincial average, which grows at a much faster rate than the 2%, which leaves a smaller amount—and proportionately smaller as time goes on, as those increases continue—for those elementary interests that are of course foundational and of prime importance.
What we are engaged in is a process of developing both standards and a costing formula with the department that we think will yield substantial results if implemented. I think that's what—
