Mr. Speaker, I cannot confirm how quickly the federal government will be able to turn this around. I know they are working on a submission for the federal Cabinet. The Minister of DIAND has confirmed that. Hopefully, we will see both a confirmation of what the federal capacity would have to be in this area. Second would also be some commitment from them in terms of training Northerners to fill those positions. We are continuing to talk. I do not know. I really cannot say if it will be a month, two months or five months or two years. I do not know.
