I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
I cannot provide this today; I will provide it as soon as I
can. The reason for that is it is a commercial program, so the department will
have to ask all the schools in the south west whether they are using the
program. As soon as I get that information, I will provide it to the house.
