Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I understand there are about 250 nursing jobs in Nunavut. We only have, I believe, 10 students in the nursing training program offered out of Yellowknife from Nunavut. I would like to ask the Minister whether he believes that perhaps in future, nursing training could be offered in Nunavut to help target northern residents taking some of those 250 jobs. It's a tremendous opportunity I would think, a tremendous

employment opportunity for Nunavut residents. We're only attracting 10 students to the Yellowknife program; wouldn't we have more success getting more students if we offered a program in Nunavut? Thank you.
