We do have some mechanisms to deal with this shortcoming. For example, we have continuing education, ongoing education. There are many distance learning courses that are becoming more and more accessible. Unfortunately, we do not have any francophone post-secondary institutions here, in the province. We are, however, relying a great deal on the new Centre scolaire et communautaire des Grands-Vents, in St. John's, to try to set up an ongoing training program. This represents a dual challenge for us. We run a risk when we send young people away in order to study, we risk loosing them and then we have to try and get them back later on. I would say that there have been some success stories. Some people have left and then come back, but this is a challenge for us, one that we need to consider. We have to find some way to encourage them to come back once they have been educated.
