Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, every student in the Northwest Territories in grade 9 must, along with their parents and the school, complete a career plan. I think that, as far as is possible, we encourage students to look as broadly at the potential market as possible. We can't foresee all of the opportunities that will be out there, but I do think that we're aware of the potential for mines developing, the potential for other jobs in the non- renewable sectors, and do encourage students to take a look at all the alternatives. A clear example is that we've started allowing students to enter an apprenticeship program while still in high school. So I think that we are working with all of the students in the Northwest Territories to ensure that they do look ahead and plan for a career, and I think we are looking at where the opportunities for jobs will be. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
