Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It's not totally consistent with our other approaches, but we would likely wind up in the same situation as we did with social workers. If we didn't insist on it, we would have to probably stop offering it anywhere in the Northwest Territories. We've been challenged to try and provide as much training as possible in the Northwest Territories. We have very few students who take this; that's why we can't offer all the school courses for apprentices in the Northwest Territories. We have chosen a few and we have chosen to try and make sure we offer those ones in the Northwest Territories. But in order to gain the economies of scale, we have to insist that everybody who's a registered apprentice and wants the schooling in that course has to take it in the Territories. Otherwise, we couldn't be offering it in the Territories.
