Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don't have that answer for the Member right now, but we can speak to our immigration folks and see if we're getting any Syrian refugees who are coming through the Nominee Program. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, that's not from the intake. As I mentioned, we're going to continue to support the students who are in the current program right now for two more years of the social work program and then an additional three years for the TEP program. So no, those aren't the result. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As mentioned, there were some administrative reductions as well as the beginning of the social work program. That is where some of the details are. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I am not really too sure of what a lot of these barriers were for students who enrolled in both programs, and we got low graduation rates out of the two. We also currently support students who are going down South, I believe 19 students who are taking a social work degree. We continue to support them. I am not too sure what some of the barriers were. Obviously, everyone has their own challenges when they're going to school, and some of those are probably taken into account. Our department, they have a great Student Financial Assistance program that supports students financially, and the Aurora...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is more of a funding ratio. With the junior kindergarten, when we were implementing it, we looked at the PTR and we felt that 12:1 was sufficient. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If it does get maxed out, I guess you could say that is good news because you've got more students taking postsecondary. So even though we don't want to get there, it is great that we do have over 1,200 students right now who we are currently funding. Hopefully, we get more in the future. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and yes that line item is fully utilized, so there are no dollars left over. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I really don't understand the form of question the Member is trying to ask. We currently fund for college and TEP through our contribution agreements, not through the Student Financial Assistance pot of funding. Maybe the Member can just clarify his question. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and yes.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is something that we could definitely do a presentation with committee when we can find a scheduling time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
