Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do have to emphasize that we haven't indicated that we would provide funding support beyond providing the property for this particular project. To the best of my knowledge, we have not made any commitment financially on this project nor indicated that we would support it because we have, as I said, in this community alone, two schools to provide this training and we don't want to duplicate, for one reason. Our position has always been that the cost of this must be taken out of the allocation provided through the DEC. In future, we are looking at -- as I mentioned the other day to the honourable Member -- different pathways, and we want to be fair throughout the territory if we are ever able to obtain funding to support the industrial arts strategy or program, or whatever you wish to call it, that we wish to pursue. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
