Thank you, Madam Speaker. The whole matter of the qualifications for apprenticeship programs generally remains the same. However, I do want to indicate to Members of this House that the initiative that has been undertaken by my colleague, the honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, Minister of Public Works and Services, along with myself in dealing with the whole matter of construction, which allows us now to use construction projects to encourage people in the communities to get into certain trades areas.

First of all, to get a general idea of trades, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and then to move from there into more specific training programs.

But, generally speaking, we are looking long term and not just at the short term. Once communities decide to participate with us, it's our commitment to try to work out an arrangement on a yearly basis that will allow us to seeing skilled trades people in smaller communities. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
