Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect. This kind of goes back to some of the questions we were asked much earlier about developing a northern workforce. We have a significant number of individuals, as I've indicated I think three times already today, in the 18 to 24 year age that don't even consider themselves to be part of the workforce. We need to focus in on these individuals, identify the type of work that's required in the Northwest Territories. We need people who can do bookkeeping; we need people to do finance; we need people in trades. There is a significant amount of trades work that is still being done here in the Northwest Territories.
We also have a fantastic college in Fort Smith that actually provides trades training. That college seems to be having lower and lower enrolments. We have to figure out why that is. Why are enrolments decreasing in Fort Smith and what can we do with our residents to encourage them that this is the right place to go? We need to actually get out and talk to some of these young people who are not working and find out why they aren't working. We need to continue to move forward with the development of a workforce development strategy so we can figure out what type of training is required so we can get out there and pursue these young people, as well as others, and ensure we are training them for jobs that actually exist in the Northwest Territories. Train our Northerners for northern work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect.
