I'm not an expert in the education side of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, but I believe we could certainly find out whether some of our youth employment strategy initiatives that are focused on that age group support those kinds of experiences for later secondary school participants and give them examples and opportunities to experience other realities outside their community that might encourage them to continue with their education. We could certainly see what we have as examples of where that might be happening.
