I slightly shortened my remarks earlier, but I'd like to point out that five conditions must be met before we can open our doors in 2020. One of them is that our programs must be approved.
They were forwarded to the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities on October 1st. At that stage, the ministry has the power to examine the programs and forward them to the organization that will evaluate them, which in fact commissions a peer review. As far as I know, that hasn't been done yet. The programs file is sitting on the minister's desk. She must first approve the budget for providing those programs before forwarding the file to the organization, which is called the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board, or PEQAB.
Work will start once that's done and will be spread over several months. It could take 8 to 12 months. A panel of international experts will review the quality of the programs and, more particularly, seek to determine whether there's really a need in the sector that warrants their introduction.
