Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Member has suggested, that would, in fact, be useful information to demonstrate whether or not our programs are working well. In fact, the Standing Committee on Social Programs suggested we should make more of an effort to track that information. The department has conducted at least one phone survey to try and develop baseline information in that area. The Member asks whether there is a program to assist students finding jobs in their chosen field when they return to the north with their degree or certificate in-hand. The answer is no, there is no specific program like that. We have almost no people in the Northwest Territories with a university degree who are not employed. We have very few people in the Northwest Territories who have college diplomas who are not employed. Finding employment for people who have post-secondary training is not a big problem in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
