Mr. Speaker, the theory behind negotiated contracts with locally sponsored groups is that they will react responsibly and morally with regard to employment. I do not actually have the details of these young men who were involved in this particular training program. I am prepared to get that to determine how many were active or are active in this project. I would hope that, given the fact that we are negotiating with the Dogrib people, they would see a priority and a condition of this negotiated contract was to ensure maximum employment opportunities for the people. That is the best way I can answer this question at this time.
