Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education. First of all, we have laid off a lot of people. This government has laid off a lot of people in Yellowknife and, of course, other areas, but we do know as well that the BHP mines are going to be starting up around here, and there may be other mines starting up. Many of the people in the north are not adequately educated and trained to take advantage of those jobs, even though we have impact benefit agreements between ourselves and BHP for instance, and between various communities and BHP. I would like to know first of all, what is being done for the many people from the GNWT that are being laid off? What is being done to assist those types of people to getting jobs into the mining industry such as BHP. Thank you.
