Yes, but the question is: will all the people being taken off the CDEP be given access to the $5 million program that you just spoke about? There is a disjunction between those two things. I want to know that they are going to meet up wherever a person who has been taken off the CDEP is and that they are going to be able to gain that literacy and numeracy in their own community and not just be put into a job where the prospect of being able to do something better to tap into their potential is not available because they will not be given the catch-up that is required because of lost educational opportunities.
