I can tell you a few things, Mr. Chair. All high schools in the NWT now have a trained facilitator on staff except one, which is a change from last year. Facilitators in the schools can be trained by instructors in the NWT. When we began, they came out of Calgary. Now that we have a number of NWT teachers teaching on-line courses, instead of paying $110 a credit, we now pay $25. Some of the statistics we have for 2002-03 are incomplete because the year isn't over, but we have 91 students registered and 42 students have received credits so far. We are now working with Aurora College to see if we can work with them to determine a strategy for on-line learning. We want to look at the cost-effectiveness of pooling high school students and Aurora College students to create full classes, because part of the problem is if we have small classes. As I said, to date, we have 78 students who have completed and we have two more intakes before the end of the school year. So for the first two years, we have a total of 225 students who have taken on-line courses. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
