Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are working, as part of a group led by the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, to deal with the oil and gas developments in the Mackenzie Valley. There are a number of thrusts underway. We are part of the Human Resource Development Strategy and we have developed an extensive program and outlined the potential jobs that will be there. We have outlined what the requirements are and I believe that will address some of the concerns that the Member is speaking of with regard to the need to bring our population into a position and position them to take advantage of the potential jobs that are going to be there down the line.
