I love the minister's outrage that he should have to answer questions tonight: 'Oh, it's all been done before; it's all been done before.' That is why all of the school sectors are out there still raging into the night against what the government is about to do! What we are talking about here is very, very important—how will the funds be distributed? I did listen carefully to the answer, and I think it was basically, 'Trust me; it'll be okay.' I think that is what we got out of the minister, in translation.

My next question about transitional funding is: will it be available to all non-government, low-fee systems or just some of them? And on what basis will that be determined?
