Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Working Together Program was set up to be a cooperative arrangement between employers and the government whereby the government provides a subsidy for wages so an employer can afford to do the training themselves. It does not cost the employer the full cost of the wage and therefore it was felt that the employer could afford to contribute some of the cost of the training. There is no direct job training provided through this program. By the way, Mr. Speaker this program has been tremendously successfully with I believe over $900,000 being invested in youth employment in the Nunavut area this year so far. We are coming very close to using up the full allocation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
