Mr. Chair, this is a big issue. I was a school board trustee, so I am a little hung up on this.
In the school boards, provincially, the funding envelope comes with the students per capita, and one knows what it is. It is ring fencing. The envelopes are specific, so this is a specific question that the minister does not seem to be able to answer. He does not seem to be able to tell us if he knows what is going in for instruction, not in terms of what is being spent by the bureaucracy, not what is being spent on all manner of other things.
What is being spent in terms of the instructional envelope?
