Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister for Education, Culture and Employment, the honourable Mr. Dent. I think it is accepted that this government over the past number of years has cut back on the amount of dollars that it has spent in construction activity. Over that period of time, I believe the NWT Construction Association is saying that we now have a shortage of skilled tradespeople in the Northwest Territories. My question to the Minister is, I want to know if he shares this opinion? What is his department doing about trying to get the number of tradesmen increased now that there is much potential with initiatives that the government is putting forward through P3 and so forth? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
