Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That it is a very good suggestion. We will look at it and I certainly agree with the Member that we should look within our organizations in government wherever we can for apprenticeships, certainly with an organization like the Power Corporation.

At the moment, the Power Corporation does have an apprenticeship program which was started four years ago and a total of seven apprentices are in the Power Corporation, four of whom are in the west and three in Nunavut. All are priority one candidates under the affirmative action program.

For the Member's information, the Power Corporation is conducting an organizational review as a result of the division process. Several steps have been taken on that. One was to set up a steering committee, which has decided to do some consultation and to check with a cross-section of employees, as well as representatives from the Union of Northern Workers, to provide input into the organizational review process. Following that meeting, a design committee was set up of approximately 15 individuals from across the Territories. It includes representation from employees, including the bargaining unit, head office and excluded employees.

The design committee meets on an ongoing basis and is looking at various areas. I think this is one area this fits into, if it has not already fit into. I appreciate the Member's comment, and that is an area I will follow up with. Thank you.
