Mr. Chairman, the Northwest Territories is not included in the monthly national labour force survey. But there are some statistics available from the census of Canada and from community labour force surveys completed by this Bureau of Statistics in 1985 and 1989. The work being undertaken is seasonal patterns of employment, the type of work wanted, education levels and perceived training needs, alternative definitions of unemployment, participation in hunting, fishing, trapping and traditional craft activities, knowledge of aboriginal and other languages, and length of residence in the Northwest Territories. It's being done across the Northwest Territories, although not everybody is being interviewed. It's being done according to statistical sampling, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
