Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Furthermore many of the unskilled and semi-skilled jobs in manufacturing in the resource sector have been disappearing at a rapid rate in the past two decades. This concerns me very much because what these trends suggest is that the aboriginal labour force with a low educational level will be particularly disadvantaged in a new global economy. In the context of our adult population that has dropped out of school, we have a tremendous challenge ahead from the perspective of upgrading and training. Mr. Speaker, we want educated Dogrib people managing and building the institutions that will bring the Dogrib people a greater degree of self-reliance. If the Dogrib people are going to reach outside the N.W.T. and Canada and feel secure and confident in their abilities, then we must commit ourselves to educating our young people and ensuring our adults commit themselves equally to upgrading and training. Mr. Speaker, anything less will just not be enough. Thank you.
