Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I remember not long ago in my home community, the nurses all came from southern Canada. When I was with a good government and good intentions of this government, they developed the nursing program that was delivered in the Northwest Territories to Northwest Territories residents. In this way we can help to get the percentage of aboriginal people and long-term northerners that fall under the affirmative action policy as employees of this government. Then you would kick up the numbers in that sector. We do the same thing, I believe, you call it the TEP program under the teacher's assistance program, to try to encourage teachers to be trained in the Northwest Territories. We have done the same thing with game wardens and we have done the same thing with social workers. All as good government to try to get the numbers of northerners increased in those sectors. Thank you.
