Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the saying goes, the hope springs eternal from the human breast. I think we always have to be optimistic, in spite of what we see as the lack of revenue to proceed on a lot of these issues. We meant just this morning, for instance, with members of your community and the Ice Diamond people about the employment opportunities in the diamond sector and the need for the schools and the college to be involved in that. As well the college is currently trying to gear up and tool up its apprenticeship programs to address and meet the significant shortfall in terms of tradesmen, millwrights, welders, electricians, plumbers, et cetera. We are gearing up. There is no new money, in fact, to do this. A lot of the funds we do have we are looking for third party funding. We have increased that funding significantly in the last few years.

Yes, I think there is cause for hope. What that exactly translates to in terms of vocational programs in Hay River, I cannot tell you at this point. I can tell you that our 6:45 a.m. meeting this morning addressed the issue of how we are pulling these recommendations together and the work that is going to be done on those. Thank you.
