Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are a couple of options, Mr. Speaker. There are companies in the Northwest Territories that do provide class one training for drivers. The only concern is that, in fact, there is a need for a larger number of students that would make the training possible here in the NWT. I am informed that actually in the City of Yellowknife, there are two companies. Actually one in Yellowknife, the Arctic Defensive Driving School. It all depends on the number of students that they can take in. That would eliminate the need for going into Alberta and take care of that problem altogether. The second option is for this government to enter into a reciprocal agreement with the Government of Alberta so that we can reduce those costs and reduce the need for buying back the licence in the NWT, so that is an option. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
