Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have talked to many people who are also interested in being trained to enable them to go into the mining industry, whether it means in the production end or the exploration end. My understanding is that there is a program presently sponsored by BHP that Mr. Dent, the Minister of Education, is involved in with some of the communities to get people ready for the mining industry, We also sponsor a prospectors' program that makes dollars available for people to go out on the land to prospect for certain minerals. Yesterday, I visited an outpost camp run by Trevor Teed. In talking to them out there, they also expressed interest in possibly having an educational program for the trappers so the trappers themselves can recognize rocks that contain certain types of minerals. So I think it's worthwhile looking at. We definitely need them. Thank you.
