Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I again appreciate the questions that are being asked. I think what was required -- and it was a point that was raised and, again, a comment made by the honourable Member for Yellowknife North, and was an issue of concern to the honourable Member who raised the question...The issue initially was that we didn't identify the jobs that were available, or the numbers of jobs that could be made available. Once that is done, we then have the ability to identify the potential training opportunities that could be made available to people in Yellowknife or the surrounding region, in the Kitikmeot or in the North Slave area. Hopefully, we can expand the information to include the Keewatin. Once we've done that, it is much easier for us than to talk to the communities to advise them of the potential and to identify the individuals for training. I think that's an important component.
I do want to say again that it's been very fortunate for us to have gone through the Izok Lake assessment because the Kitikmeot was involved. They've identified some of the issues. The Treaty 8 group has been involved. The Dogrib communities have been involved. The Honourable John Todd has been involved in discussions with the city of Yellowknife and other partners in this region, including the Chamber of Mines and the Chamber of Commerce. The consultant will be researching existing documentation consulting with stakeholders and to have a strategy, hopefully, done by April of 1995. The suggestion of an information catalogue system of potential individuals, I think, is a very good one and should be considered in the strategy.
