Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development in regard to my statement. I think that as a government, Mr. Speaker, we have to do more to find the means of ensuring that everybody is taking advantage of these opportunities, especially in regard to the oil and gas and the diamond sector. In regard to the different agreements that we have with the oil companies and the diamond socio-economic agreements, they are different benefit agreements that have been signed off between groups and organizations.
I think that as a government, we have to have some sort of policy in place to try to maximize and also make industry aware that we are willing to work along with them as long as we start to see improvements in regard to the hiring, especially of those young individuals between the ages of 25 and 16, to give them those opportunities to get their foot in the door in these different sectors.
I would like to ask the Minister if he is working with industry to establish some sort of an agreement or some sort of policy within this government, or put something in writing so that we are able to make industry live up to these obligations that they talk about when they come up here to do this work.
