Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is exactly what we are trying to do by assessing the communities to see where their strengths are. The Member is referring to Inuit employment plans. The east has to provide training to Inuit individuals. Under the Nunavut agreement, there is an agreement with the federal government that 50 percent of Inuit will have to be employed. That is why there is that funding to train Inuit people to help manage the Nunavut government. In the west we also have community empowerment people who can assist and assess the communities to see what training they need. This is what we have been doing. I brought forward a document which lists what is happening in each community. If the Member would like me to look into a specific community to assist him, I will do that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
