Thank you, Mr. Chairman. These courses would be offered in the west because we are in the west, by Aurora College and they would be open to people who wish to take the course. If politicians wish to take the course, then they can. Primarily, it would be open to the general public. I do not know how many politicians would be able to take a year or two years off from their political duties to go to school. That is what I envision, a course that people would have to take for a full year or a year and a half or two years, so you can get a complete certificate. Not a two week or even six week workshop every six months or something. Of course, those types of smaller training courses do help, but this is not sufficient for people we are expecting to take over community justice and all these other initiatives without proper training and where the money is, how to write reports and proposals. In general, how to administer these programs.
