I thank all the students and guests for coming before the committee today. Starting with Mr. Irfan, I would have thought it was a very positive development that we are going to have a separate climate action and sustainable development course at senior cycle. Does he agree with me that there are many younger people who are interested in climate action and the climate crisis and that this course will give them an opportunity, I suppose, to manifest that interest and to engage with the topic on an educational basis?
