Dr. Oberg: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I will keep this extremely brief. In accordance with the House leaders' agreement I will not be speaking again to these estimates, and I will be taking the questions that have been asked by the opposition under advisement and will respond to them on a written basis. Therefore I look forward to the questions as they are put forward in the Assembly.
I would say that we are presently voting on an estimate of $4.8 billion, Mr. Chairman, which represents an increase in the basic K to 12 education system, an increase for the school boards of 8.4 percent, for postsecondaries of 8 percent, and in student finance of adult learning of 22 percent.
Mr. Chairman, I feel that this is an excellent budget, and I look forward to answering the questions that the opposition will pose before us.
Thank you.
