Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have standards in apprenticeship areas, in trades and in occupations. As a matter of fact, we have developed occupational standards here in the Northwest Territories that are similar to other areas and we have covered about six. We are looking at a total of about 35 to cover, Mr. Speaker. Certainly in the apprenticeship area, our apprentices -- and we have double the number of apprentices training versus the national average -- the territorial apprentices, many of them are red seal, which means that they are approved across the country, Mr. Speaker. So we are naturally interested in ensuring that our standards are high and meet national and other jurisdiction standards and meet the needs of industry. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
