Moving onto another topic, I think Members have been generally supportive of the department's efforts to expand on distance learning initiatives and I think that this is certainly an area in which we had hoped we would be able to see better quality programs provided, particularly in some of our smaller schools and providing a broader range of programs there as well through distance learning processes. But I don't see any increase in terms of what we are putting into distance learning systems. The question I have to pose to the Minister is do we not see this as being successful? Is that why we haven't expanded on their use? Conversely, how can we expect them to be successful if we don't expand the funding to make sure that distance learning systems can be improved? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
