Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the department did have money set aside in the budget anticipating that that program would be developed and come forward and had hoped it would come forward sooner. And so it has been part of ECE's budget for a number of years and money that they have received/approved by this Legislative Assembly for that purpose. Given that the program is not yet in existence, that was identified as a potential cost savings to the department and dollars that could be directed elsewhere so that we're ensuring that we're directing it to where it can best be used. And then once a program does come forward, then I would be able to go to FMB again with a submission, a costed submission and timeline for that delivery. So it's not the department of education that would develop that program and that curriculum for Aurora College; it's Aurora College that is doing that work.

I think it is worth also mentioning programs that are within the department of education, like the mentorship apprenticeship program and the scholarship programs as well, that have really taken off over the last number of years and have seen record enrolment, and so just a huge thank you to your MAP coordinators and also our mentors who are doing that good work. Thank you.
