Mr. Speaker, I can't make that assurance. As I said, I don't think we'll be able to resolve this issue soon enough for this particular hiring season. Probably the reason there are not as many jobs in the smaller communities is the jobs happen to occur in the denser communities. We don't apportion a certain amount of money around the Northwest Territories to hire students. Many times, it's done on the basis of a requirement for more people in the summertime because of increased activity. I would suggest that those summer activities are the reason that the jobs are increasing. I won't be able to say to the House and to the Member that we'll be able to hire more students in his particular community because I don't think we'll get that issue resolved that quickly, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
