Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, we are interested in knowing what the cost of this is exactly and what the challenges are in order to extend the program. It is of interest to us, recognizing, of course, the financial hurdle we may face in achieving this. It does make some sense because we are looking at the early childhood program, where we are making an investment. Getting children ready for school is the issue. If we can extend the kindergarten program, that will catapult them into a more advanced level still, to be sure that when they get into grade 1 they are ready for school. It is of interest to us.
