Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I cannot say whether or not we will be able to meet any future shortfalls in the numbers of teachers available to teach in the Northwest Territories. To date we have not seen any problems with the numbers of applicants and we will have to monitor the statistics across Canada, in terms of available candidates, and see what develops. We have taken a very proactive approach in training northerners to be teachers and I think that, in the long run, that will be the best solution. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
