Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It's a high school curriculum only, so it's only in high school. It's really not something that's aimed at somebody who wouldn't achieve, perhaps, in one of those streams that Mr. Hawkins has mentioned. It's aimed more at helping prepare kids for the world of work, as I said in my opening comments. It's for those who find it challenging to be in a regular classroom, perhaps, and a curriculum. This curriculum is more, for instance, in science experiential or application-based. In the English language arts, it would be one that the literature perhaps wouldn't be Shakespeare, but something more contemporary. So while you're still learning the same skills, the curriculum is designed around experience, or application, or something that many kids will find more interesting; the object being to keep young people interested and, therefore, in attendance.
