Thank you. I want to tell the Minister that I think it is a good start to identify all the different areas that need different training dollars. I also have to commend him for taking the proactive approach of submitting it to the federal government.

However, in his media presentation, or in his discussion about the media, he indicated that he talked about a $12 million plan to deal with oil and gas. I do agree that this is a plan. This is a proposal and it is identified as a proposal. It is a request to the federal government for money and I think he has painted a picture in the communities and all around the North that we have a $12 million budget to spend on oil and gas. That is not the fact and we are getting calls. Mr. Bell has indicated that he is getting calls. I am getting calls. There are others who are getting calls. Where do we sign up for this thing? Where is the headquarters going to be? That comes from aboriginal leaders as well as people in the communities.

I think that has to be clear. If we are going to hold our breath waiting for money to come from the federal coffers, we do not have to look at the diamond industry. How much money have they put into training for diamonds for the secondary industry?

I do not think we have that much hope. I have talked to some of the people in the federal government about oil and gas training initiatives in the Deh Cho. They indicated that they are putting money into the communities already. They say, "We are putting money into the local training authorities, use that. Fort Providence has $250,000, use that. I do not see us putting any more in there."

I am not putting a lot of faith into the federal government coming through with a lot of dollars. However, I agree that we need some kind of a plan and the Minister has indicated that he has talked to industry and that this document has been around for a while. He gave it to us a month ago. If he has given it a lot of attention, how much commitment do we have? What do we have from industry that gives them comfort that we are going to get dollars from them? Has there been any discussions with any of the companies that have indicated, "Yes, we will pay for a portion of this."?
