Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. One of the recommendations contained in the minister's forum was ECE should investigate the need to offer vocational programs and explore options on appropriate methods for offering these programs either at the community, regional or territorial level. Vocational programs. The Minister has just stated that we should have had more lead time to prepare people for the diamond industry, I believe there has probably been a shortage of tradespeople in the Northwest Territories for a number of years and this is something specifically in my community, vocational program in the high school has been talked about for 20 years. Should we have any renewed hope of preparing our students for occupations in trades and in the diamond field based on this recommendation now when we have not seen any action on this in the last 20 years? Thank you.
