Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will have to speak to the former students involved and ask them to discuss this or write a letter, something to that effect. However, I know this is not an isolated case because I have spoken to several students who are concerned with this, students who work hard and go to school regularly and the rest of this. I have heard several complaints that there are many students who may not be quite as serious about their studies and then, the course is watered down, so everybody can handle the course work. That is not the way it should happen, Mr. Chairman. If zero students pass, then it is too bad. We have to ensure that we have quality courses in our colleges. It is not how many people we can pass or how many people who can actually say, I have a certificate or diploma. It does not do them any good if they try to transfer to a university and they cannot transfer their credits, if they have to take another two years of college or university when they thought they would not have to. This is not an isolated incident I am talking about. I will undertake to speak to students I know of who could not transfer their courses, who were told that they would be able to.
