Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment Programs. Because the Minister comes from a region similar to mine in which traditional harvesting forms a very important component of the local economy and often contributes to the survival of our Dene culture, I am sure that I do not have to tell him about the needs of trappers in our communities. Recognizing that this has been a very hard economic year, the Minister should develop a strategy which will provide specific training opportunities for people at the community level. This would allow everyone, especially trappers, to take advantage of adult education programming aimed at broadening career awareness, and at the same time, would provide student funding that would enable them to avoid turning to social assistance. Will the Minister consider developing a strategy to accomplish this? Mahsi.
