Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We tried to encourage the people who had signed up for the Social Work Program this year to consider going to the Yukon College and taking the course there. We actually had somebody go and talk to the prospective students and encourage them. We only had an uptake of a couple, I think, that actually went. We are, again this year, going to work with Health and Social Services to try and put a renewed emphasis on recruiting people to enrol in the program. So we haven't given up on it, but we couldn't proceed with the course with that level of uptake. We will continue to work with them. Actually, I'm also advised now that some of the applicants had completed some of their first-year courses, so what the college did was agree to accept them into the second year of the program and will work with them to make sure that they get any missing courses filled in over a period of time, too.
