I am sorry, Mr. Williamson, but I don't have that information. The president of Collège Boréal must have it. You can understand that there are various employment support programs at the 61 members of our network. So it is rather difficult to answer your question directly.
However, as I explained earlier to your colleague, Mr. Gourde, the employability issue is significant. Thanks to our support training, we receive a lot of young adults and adults who need to retrain. That is when the recognition of prior learning and skills plays an important role. That is also when our student service can provide support to students who return to school. It is not always easy. It takes motivation for someone to go back to school after being out of school for a few years. Colleges need to encourage and support those students, and that is what they do.
Let me give you another example of what we are actively doing to promote learning and success. We have funded a virtual assistance program for learning French. The program is offered online 18 hours a day, seven days a week. We are in the process of funding this program so that students struggling with their work can call the service centre. It used to be only for French. It will also be for math now. We are setting up these assistance centres to support students who need help. All the colleges are working hard on employability.
I was saying earlier that it is important to get people up to a certain level of education so that they can pursue post-secondary education. Clearly, our colleges in minority communities accept students who do not have a solid academic background to continue their studies. We therefore make sure to provide them with all the support they need to bring their knowledge up to date before we give them the technical or professional training to complete their diploma. That is part of the work that our colleges do.
I will ensure that the president of Collège Boréal, Pierre Riopel, receives your question so that he can provide you with a proper answer and with all the information you need on this.
