Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are currently 433 active apprentices in 42 designated trades. This number varies year to year. Although it is relatively close to that number, there can be and have been over the past five or six years, quite significant variations.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister indicate how the public service career training works? I know at one time the government used to have trainees in certain areas and the people would get training on the job, as well as some formal education. I would like to know how the public service career training operate these days? Is it still the same way or how does it work?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, all of the public service career training is now vested in the individual departments, the funds are anyway. The Department of Education, Culture and Employment works with the individuals who are selected for the training programs, helps develop the individual training programs and assists the departments in drawing up the plans for the training programs. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Are these people the Minister is referring to, are they actually trainees in training positions, or are they just people who might want one training course or two training courses?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are people who are taking public service career training who are full time. There are some who are taking only one or two courses for upgrading to improve their skills. Both are supported by the Department.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The industry indicated there are some people full time, which I assume means trainees. Does every department then have this public service career funding for trainees?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The money that used to be allocated to the Department of Education, Culture and Employment for this program has been distributed to all of the government departments, so it is in each department and typically at the regional level.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is this the fund where people can go on training courses? For instance, the Aurora College in Yellowknife puts on training courses for our staff. Which area would that be under?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Staff training courses, like those offered by the College, are typically supported by each department. Each department will purchase a seat or a department that has a need to send somebody on a course will purchase a seat at the college as needed. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That really depends upon the individual program being offered. Most of these are offered in the regional centres. This would be the area I referred to when speaking about the Member for Inuvik that had seen the reductions of the four PYs. There are six offices in the Northwest Territories and programs will be
delivered through those regional offices that work and make sense in each of the regions. So there is a very broad variety. They could range from apprenticeship, almost anything that the career counselling would recommend. So training on the job, career type programs, the programs are broadly available. This is not just for government employees. Our employment and career centres are open to the public and the programs are offered to the public. Thank you.
