Mr. Chairman, thanks for the answer to the Minister. I just would like to suggest that, when this is being investigated, when it is being looked at, the Minister and the department seriously consider the effect the lack of school counsellors has on students in schools, particularly high schools and their inability to actually fully understand the impact that particular course will have on their post-secondary education. The Minister full well knows it has been an issue that has come out a fair bit in the last several months. I think if there is an opportunity for us to train school counsellors, that this would certainly be a valid program. If it is not counselling the kids, if it is something different, then my remarks don’t apply to this particular item, but I still feel that it is imperative that every school that has students in high school grades needs to have someone in that school who is counselling those kids on which classes they should be taking to achieve the goals they want to achieve in order for them to advance to the secondary education level that they want and that they need to get to. That is just a comment. I don’t have a question there. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
