I thank the witnesses for their time this morning. They are most welcome, and I thank Ms O'Rourke for the kind invitation to her school. I would like to ask Mr. Lennon a couple of questions first. He mentioned in his opening statement about the quick win for technology. Can he talk to us a bit more about that? Specifically, he mentioned technology outside of schools. Could he speak to us a little bit more about that? Mr. Lennon also mentioned the special education teacher allocation model, and the effect that is having on deaf and hard-of-hearing children. Can Mr. Lennon speak to us a bit more about that also?
