Mr. Speaker, yes, it is a very good program and I am very pleased that this is becoming very successful in Hay River. With regard to the work that the department is doing since October of last year when Mr. Delorey brought this to our attention, we started to work on this in a more concentrated effort throughout the Territories. The first thing we needed to do was to design the curriculum so that we get different pathways for students to enter back into the trades area. We have been very diligent in concentrating in that whole area, Mr. Speaker. It's for the territory, as a whole. We expect that to be finished by this summer, so we have some alternate maths and sciences, not a watered down version by any means, but an alternate pathway that students can get into. From there, we need to identify the resources to address issues, just as Mr. Delorey's project in the school in Hay River is doing. We want to be supportive of that. Thank you.
