Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will make this my last comment. I am not sure where this issue is at in our curriculum, but throughout Canada, there is a shortage for trades people. There used to be work experience in shop when I was in high school. I am not sure if it is still there. I have not seen it in the communities. I think it is very important we continue in that area. Not everybody wants to sit in an office. Not everybody is going to do their commerce through the Internet and what not. There are going to be individuals who want to go out there and hammer nails for a living. We have to give them that opportunity.
That is one of the strongest economies in the Northwest Territories. For an individual to live in the small community, a lot of them have to expect to fly to work and spend several weeks there. Those are just basic skills that get taught in shops. It could be wood-working. It could be machinery, welding, et cetera, but those are introductory to trades. Once you get through high school, it might get a little higher, and then into the college system.
Maybe the Minister can answer that question for me. Is shop still being taught in school? The areas I mentioned, carpentry, welding, electrical, et cetera. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
