Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That is correct. The program has been extended to a three-year program. After that, we require teachers to obtain their degree from a university. That is within a five-year period. There can be extenuating circumstances under which extensions can be provided. It is our intent to ensure that there is employment created for those graduates from our system as well as graduates who are northern people from universities and other institutions in other locations. Thank you.
