Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Mr. Speaker, recently this government approved Sirius Diamonds for a training program. I am not sure if there were other items that were approved to assist them in their efforts to open a cutting and polishing facility here in Yellowknife. They had a diamond training course in Victoria and I have been led to believe that there was not one aboriginal selected on that course. I have a very, very difficult time understanding how this could be done when we are paying for that. I would like the Minister to indicate if what I am hearing is true, that there were no aboriginal people selected to go on this training course in Victoria?
