Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister responsible for Education. Mr. Speaker, a number of my constituents have spoken up about an issue currently being debated; forest firefighting in the territories. It has sparked the interest of a good number of young people wanting to get into the business of fighting fires. They recognize the need for training and they would like to know if they can get this training here in the Northwest Territories. I would like to ask the Minister whether Arctic College is currently, or certainly in the future, going to be training forest firefighters and Bird Dog officers because of the training necessary to participate in this occupation? Do they have this at Arctic College?
