Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we do have two programs that are directly involved in the oil and gas training. One is access training, entry level type of training. We provide about $500,000 in that area and $600,000 for advanced training. It is in the advanced training area that we can provide funding for that. We would be extremely interested in ensuring that the program we held in Inuvik, if it could be continued in other regions or in Inuvik, or wherever possible.
Last year, we had an indication that there may be interest in the Sahtu. We have to ensure that if we are going to provide training in a particular area, Mr. Speaker, that we have adequate numbers as well. Last year, we had approximately 120 required applications in order to, at the end of the day, graduate about 60.
Just to get back to the Member's question, we would be extremely interested in pursuing it. I am meeting with some oil and gas people in Calgary in about two weeks time. I can discuss it with the various interest groups, the people that may be drilling in that area. It is not an issue that can be solved overnight because of the cost of doing this and because of the commitment that has to be made on the part of the drilling company.
