Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Under the Community Empowerment Strategy, we do community planning which involves the partners in the communities. It starts from the community. During community planning and visioning, there is also assessing of the community where the strengths may be and where training is needed. I would just like to mention that in 1997-98, RWED received approval for the Northern Employment Strategy, and $1.5 million was allocated to MACA for training. There has been quite a variety of training initiatives we have taken on. One of them is for community employees in areas such as social services; community works; computer software, completion of human resource assessment; human resource plans; hiring of local community empowerment coordinators, trainers and trainees; community and regional visioning and planning workshops. This is how we have been using that fund. If a specific community wants to train an individual to help them with their community empowerment within that community, I can work with my partners and see if we can have that individual trained. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
