Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I've asked my officials to get in touch with the region southeast of Calgary where these are in use to discuss with them how they're being used and what benefits they're finding. So rather than just going out and ordering the machine, we're going to do some due diligence and find out what they're like. The website for the units clearly states that these units cannot replace native speakers. It's still the native speakers that we need to have and we need to make sure that it's families that are involved in education. But we're going to take a look at the devices.
