Before I would call the minister, I would point out to the member for Lalor and members who are sitting in that area of the chamber that it was difficult to hear the question because of the noise that was going on. I would have some silence while we hear the Minister for Education giving a reply. Hopefully he was able to hear the question!

Opposition members interjecting—

The member for Charlton will remove himself from the House under the provisions of standing order 94(a).

The member for Charlton then left the chamber.
