Social Services Committee — Department of Education, to introduce broadband access to communities. Maybe it was a concerted effort across government rather than just the Department of Education, but it would seem to me that if broadband arrives in a community then their impacts for post-secondary education, for health and for business et cetera. That is why I am interested in the number of schools that do not have what we would call broadband access. Pardon my sort of ignorance on the technicalities, but I just MR. JACKMAN: I will repeat again, there will be no school that would not have access to MR. KIRBY: They would have some degree of connectivity? MR. JACKMAN: Yes, and it would be high speed. MR. KIRBY: Okay. I have some other questions. You have been hearing the same things I have been hearing, perhaps. I am just wondering, with respect to the teacher allocation formula this year, does the department expect there will be a reduction in the number of teachers or an adjustment in the number of teachers? MR. JACKMAN: We expect that there will. The finalized number we have not had yet but it is a trend that if we have a decrease in student population, well the teacher allocation method, as I have said in this House on several occasions, has changed. It has gone to a needs-based approach right now. We expect there will be some teachers lost, but it will be because of declining enrolment. MR. KIRBY: Those declining enrolments are occurring in rural, outport regions? MR. JACKMAN: The majority of them would be in rural. Anybody who knows the Northeast Avalon here, certainly it is not declining, but it will be across the Province. MR. KIRBY: Do you know if those are localized in particular regions? MR. JACKMAN: No, they are not. MR. KIRBY: How about grade levels? Do they impact particular grade levels more than others or are they MR. JACKMAN: No, it is a different scenario from across the entire Province. MR. KIRBY: Okay. I want to move to 3.5.01. Provincial Informatio
