I would just like to switch the focus of my questions. I have questions regarding monies that were lapsed in apprenticeships and the public service training program. Given the discussion for the need to work with industry, the shortage of 500 skilled workers a year, as Mr. Dent indicated, I see there is a Mine Tap Access Program starting October 23, 2000. Could the Minister speak first to the issue of the apprenticeship budget and what the plans are to make sure that it is maximized, that industry is fully involved, and that these apprenticeship funds are used to the maximum benefit possible? Thank you.
