Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last September, there was an award ceremony that took place in Lac La Martre, where several young men were receiving certificates for a heavy equipment operation and air brake course that was put on by Arctic College, sponsored in part by the department and the local contractor that was building an airport. One of the highlights of my career as Minister was to be able to present these certificates. One of the things that was stated by these young people was, "Now they have trained us, will we get a job anywhere to put this into practice?" Could the Minister indicate whether or not any of these young men who received these certificates had been recruited to work on this project that they had been so diligently and skillfully trained for?
