Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have no doubt there are a lot of people in the north who are working in fields that their university degrees are not in. I, for one, am among that group. I do not think we should discount the fact that people choose to follow other paths no matter what their university training is sometimes. We have not done the specific job the Member asks about in terms of trying to initiate a way of getting people involved in their specific field of study. However, the department has been very active at finding ways to get young people to work. We subsidize employers to provide work for young people, we offer specific employment programs for young people, aged 15 to 29, to help employers bring those people into the workforce. We offer assistance for training on the job, we offer assistance for a number of employment initiatives. I would say that we have embarked on a broad range of support activities to help young northerners find jobs. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
