Thank you, Mr. Chair. They're different positions. One, a guidance counsellor helps the students as well as helps in terms of helping the students get on a path to succeed as well as in post-secondary or a career. The positions that we were working within the Department of Health and Social Services are for mental health services. They're different positions; and the education authorities in terms of the guidance counsellors, what we fund them, they go out and get those positions for their respective schools. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The increases that we had previously gone into agreements with Dechinta on was for $500,000. Also, I just want to make a note that, with College Nordique, the government has gone into contracts with them for training services throughout all of our departments, so there is also an increase through other departments in terms of funding for French services.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is not on a daytoday operations. Aurora College does do their yearly planning, and I do sign off on that, and the department does not tell Aurora College what to do. We do look at their yearly plans and approve them. A lot of the discussions and comments that the Member has made are actually being currently looked at with this foundation review. I am glad that Members who did actually do the interview with our contractor gave good feedback, and we will be looking forward to seeing what recommendations come out of that report moving forward. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
