Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I apologize for taking time to get up to answer the question. I was just consulting with my colleagues. I am not clear on what has been in place in the past, but previous governments had to take a very strong role in recruiting community leaders and managers, business managers, and sending them off to university for further training, with very strong support from this government. This was a way of investing in people who we know are going to be involved in the political and economic future of the Northwest Territories.
That was discontinued a number of years ago. As well, there were individual initiatives by departments in the past to put management trainees in place. At this time, there are no specific initiatives undertaken by this government.
What we would like to do is take suggestions such as the Member is making and put them together in a clear plan or strategy, so that we can take ideas like the Member is making today and put it in place in the overall context that can produce some results for us in the next year or two. Thank you.
