00:00 I will be supporting the amendment.
00:16 Thank you, Chair.
00:18 Very rarely in this committee do we divide along party lines.
00:22 That is clearly what has happened on this occasion.
00:24 A seminar has been called for to look at the education provision within these five schools.
00:31 I think information, gaining information is always a good thing.
00:36 Maybe we not put cash on the table, but then nor do all the other big things that we have.
00:43 We don't have any more money for bid because we had a briefing last week.
00:49 Information is a good thing to have.
00:51 It will help prioritise what schools we go for when money becomes available.
00:59 That's where the crunch comes.
01:01 The money is being, Highlands are being deprived because of political decision by the SNP Green
01:07 Government.
01:08 That's the fact.
01:10 Then we get the SNP standing up and saying, "Oh, it's distress."
01:16 This is not distress.
01:17 This is failing to provide adequate education for the children of the Highlands.
01:23 It is not distress.
01:25 It is disgusting.
01:26 We should be ashamed.
01:28 Gaining information is much more important than protecting the job of your SNP friends
