Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the commitment I will make is that the department will work with Sirius Diamonds and all other companies to ensure that we do get a representative workforce in the diamond industry in the Northwest Territories. We were hoping that with the second intake being planned for residents in Yellowknife, there will be a greater opportunity for us to encourage northern aboriginal people to apply.

It is also important to note that the courses offered by Aurora College are being taken advantage of by many aboriginal people. So, we are hoping that some of the graduates from the Aurora College course will find jobs in the secondary diamond industry with Sirius or any one of the other approved diamond projects. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
