I received a letter which is signed by 12 people who took an Arctic College mining course. They completed it in the summer of 1995, which is a year ago. This letter is addressed to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Their concern was they couldn't find employment in the mining industry. I wonder if the Minister is familiar with this letter and if he could look into this. The question is, is the course of no value. With all the mining activity going on in the Territories, surely people who take a mining course should be able to find employment, but 12 out of 13 haven't been able to find employment.
