Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I for one feel that it is crucial that we do have opportunities for the people in these communities, especially in some cases where you have 40 percent of the population illiterate. In regard to the oil and gas industry in my riding, it is on our forefront. It is on the doorstep, but in order for us to take advantage of it, we have to have skilled labour.
So I would like to ask the Minister, is he willing to implement a program to take advantage of these economic opportunities and improve the labour market in our regions, so they can take advantage of these opportunities?
