Thank you, Madam Chair, and thanks very much to all of you for coming.
I just want to give you a little background on where I came from. I used to work for a polytechnical university, where we trained a lot of students going into different trades and a combination of management and trades. So some of the questions will probably be related to my past experience.
I don't know whether my question is addressed to Ms. Russell, but there's also a common trend now for university graduates, especially from the sciences and arts. Because of the job situation, they want to go to technical institutes for an extra six months or twelve months of training to go into trades.
Are you aware of this trend, Ms. Russell, and that there are more jobs available in the non-traditional areas like trades and blue collar jobs, rather than white collar jobs?
