Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, it is a very important element that we continue to pursue. We are continuing our discussions with the federal Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs as well as the Human Resources Development Minister, Ms. Jane Stewart. I should also state, Mr. Speaker, that in Mr. Handley's visit yesterday to Inuvik, he had the opportunity to meet with three individuals who represented the college, the director of the college as well as Akita Drilling and CAPP, Canadian Arctic Petroleum Producers. There are some interesting developments that hopefully can be formulated to move forward on this. It is an initiative they are working on. We do not have the details of that that we can release yet, but we are continuing work in that end. As well, if I may, Mr. Speaker, we work closely with the training group that is in existence. It has been very active in the Inuvik area on oil and gas training. I met with them several weeks ago. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
