Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is good to hear that there is an opportunity for people in the social work field who have been out in the communities for a number of years. The program started 13 years ago, so I am assuming that, after two years, there are some people out there who have been working for about ten or 11 years with a two year diploma program from Fort Smith, Arctic College, that there are people in the communities with that type of experience. If they have an opportunity to go back with experience under their belts and with a desire to continue in the social services field, the department will support them to go back to school if they desire to further their training and education in that field. That is what I am hearing. I think that is the direction to go because we have many people who are dedicated in this field. After a number of years, there is a desire for them to take further education. That opportunity should be available for them to do that. Thank you.
