Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member is absolutely right because 50 per cent of our apprentices must attend school in Alberta, Manitoba or New Brunswick in order to complete their trades training. At this point in time, we are still hoping that we will be able to discuss with HRDC an approach that would see them restoring some of the funding. We aren't convinced yet that Human Resources Development Canada have actually recognized the severe impact and the special impact that these changes will have on the North. We are probably the only jurisdiction in Canada where people undertaking trades training must travel more than 1,000 kilometres to attend the schooling portion. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
