Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If I could supplement the response by the Premier, the Department of Education, Culture and Employment will complete a review of the interpreter/translator training programs in the next fiscal year. In other words, we are doing an assessment of them. In the terms of reference, the review will be circulated to the departments of Justice, Health and other official languages units for comment. We also plan to consult with other partners through their review, such as clients, our instructors, students and graduates of the programs. That is basically what is going on. The Premier is correct that there is no diminishment of the program. It is a rationalization and improvement to the training that we are offering.
