Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In fact, Mr. Speaker, I think the credit should go to Mr. Ballantyne. He was the individual asking the question. However, just to respond to the honourable Member -- and I believe it was part of a question that was asked also by Mr. Ballantyne, but I appreciate the honourable Member raising the matter again -- the department is developing a strategy which is planned to be completed by April 1995 which addresses the matter of the government and the people of the north maximizing northern employment in the mining industry. To be more specific, I want to advise the honourable Member that Human Resources Development Canada and the North Slave Economic Development and Tourism group are funding partners in this initiative, because they feel that it's an important component in order for us, as a government to respond and for them to identify the individuals who could participate in the mining industry.
