Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about the Inuit employment plans. We have a strategy funded with our partners, the federal government, called NUHRDS. This had enabled Inuit employees to train here in Yellowknife so that they can begin working after April 1, 1999 with the Nunavut goverment. Mr. Speaker, that is a good thing. The majority of these people being trained in the bureaucracy or working in offices. What are we doing for the trades and other occupations? Earlier the Member for Iqaluit and I asked about the trades programs for carpenters and other construction workers, for example. Later today, I will ask the Minister of Education for an update on provisions of Article 23. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

--Applause
