Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It's going to come down to what the prerequisites are for the college program that the student might choose. Some students will be able to take these courses and move directly to college. They're not considered a lower calibre or anything. They'll fully articulate with the rest of our offerings. What it is, it's just a different approach to science. For instance, a couple of weeks ago, I met with a group of elders who were brought in by the department to work with the curriculum people to try and relate our curriculum to more of the aboriginal culture. So it's to try and bring more relevance to a lot of the programming that we're offering. It doesn't change the level of the programming, but it's to make it apply more to what students from the North might find relevant.
