Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am certainly glad to hear that we are going to train only northerners. I do not think we want to be training someone that just jumped off the plane, has been here for one day and signs up, but what I would like to know is, can we make a commitment that a certain percentage of these people will be aboriginal northerners, since we do make up 48 percent or thereabouts of the population in the western NWT? It does not have to be that high, but can there be a commitment that at least a certain percentage of that money will be for northern aboriginal people? Thank you.
