Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I would like to thank the Member for his suggestions and I will be looking into it. We all know that young people need skills and they have to be educated. That is part of the training we do, educate the public. One of the suggestions that was made by my father, who is unilingual, an 80-year old hunter, he suggested, and this is something that I will be looking to do, is to develop courses on the GPS, Global Positioning System, because there have been cases already where the young people not knowing the land, come home after they have been searched for, by using the little gadget and walking into town, but there are so few of them that know this. It is a very technical computer gadget that if it is learned, anybody can find their way home. These are some suggestions that have come forward. I just have not had a chance to talk to my department yet on that, but we will do what the Member is suggesting. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
