Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I hope that my comments and questions do not contradict Mr. Ootes's position that he took on no new initiatives without the money. That is a concern and I think if we are realistic, we should not try and career path or education path everybody along academic lines strictly, that there is a good opportunity under the budget and money already allocated for high schools to get students started in that stream before they get to apprenticeships or college or choose an actual trade or profession. Could the Minister indicate whether or not there would be the opportunity within high schools that currently exist to add vocational training if it did not include more funding, is that an opportunity that is available at this time for high schools to integrate vocational trades and training at the high school level at this time?
