Mr. Chair, obviously that is our overall goal and objective, to have qualified people to look after our most vulnerable children under their care. Currently, we work with the college. Obviously, Members have stated that we should be delivering a high-class early childhood development certification diploma or degree program. That is an area we are currently focusing on as a long-term plan. Currently, we have some stats on number of individuals that are working within the early childhood programming that have either certification, diploma, degrees, even teacher degrees. Mind you, some of them do not have those credentials. We are going to focus on those individuals, if we can have professionals working with them. Those are some of the areas that we have highlighted. We are fully aware of it. We want highly trained professionals to deal with our vulnerable children in our school system. We are, as the Member indicated, fully alert of these different professions that should be looking after our kids. We are working at that. Mahsi.
