Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, educated people do not have a problem finding a job in the Northwest Territories. Last year we had over 3,000 people move to the Northwest Territories and I do not believe anyone moved here to retire. The problem is that we do not have enough northern people trained to take the jobs that are available right now in the Northwest Territories. Training students in the communities will increase their self-sufficiency and their self-reliance and their health. Therefore, I think that the best form of economic development is in education. Educated young people will find their own jobs and if that means that they have to move, then they will be prepared to move. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
