Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The department has a number of programs that it is responsible for. As well, it has a number of areas it is working on. The Working Together Program is a $1 million program to employ youth in the Territories and provide subsidies for employers. There are other programs that are available, like the Schools North Apprenticeship Program, Certified Occupational Training, and post-secondary support through the Student Financial Assistance Program.

Ongoing development is there for career and labour market information. There are handbooks such as Youth First and Give Youth a Chance and Career Scapes, which is an annual youth publication.

On the national scale, Mr. Speaker, there is also an effort to try and coordinate with the federal Ministers. There is a forum of labour market Ministers and western Premiers where there are ongoing efforts to enhance the employment situation for youth. There is a best practices document on youth being produced.

Those are all particular thrusts that the department is involved in. To address another area, and that is the coordination between departments and the interest, there is a thrust by the department to ensure that there is collaboration with other departments, specifically in the social envelope, Mr. Speaker. The social envelope departments are working towards the development of a youth planning document, which will set the direction and determine priorities for youth. Thank you.
