Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the witnesses for coming here.
I have a few questions. Being from Saskatchewan, I'm quite familiar with the University of Saskatchewan and some of the leading roles they're taking with aboriginal learning. They're taking it to a different level and far exceeding what some of the current standards are across Canada.
Just to get some more clarification in regard to the roles or the course outline at U of S, what does this provide? What types of courses are you taking to get certified as land managers? What is the process?
I'll elaborate further. My riding is in northern Saskatchewan. On distance learning, what steps are being taken to address those needs when people can't come out of the north at certain times, or because of road or weather conditions, perhaps, or even because of just the remoteness of some of the communities in the north, where travel isn't readily available? Could you please elaborate on those issues?
