Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would think that in the least optimistic scenario we would looking at, in the course of the next 10 years, the same number of jobs that we have right now. I would say that we do not have a representative number of northerners in those jobs and there is still potential for us to get more jobs for more northerners if we embark on significant training programs. If we are more successful in seeing mines open up in the north, we may see more jobs. The same is true in the oil and gas field and I think what we have to do is be prepared with good training programs. Watch for where the opportunities are, and make sure that we are providing the training when it is needed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
