Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Honourable Michael Miltenberger, the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. The Minister made a statement in the House last week addressing priorities in Education, Culture and Employment. In that statement the Minister said, and I quote, the link between schools and the workplace is critical if we want to develop a northern workforce.

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Miltenberger's predecessor, Mr. Dent, and the Department of Education sponsored and financially supported a program called Bridges, which was a pilot program funded by the department to assist in the transition of school to workplace. This pilot program was funded by the department for two years at St. Patrick's High School. My question to the Minister is, is this the type of program that he wishes to further develop to assist the students from school to workplace? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
