Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess I would have to question the department's commitment to expanding the apprenticeship availability in the Northwest Territories if we are not going to put more into it. In fact, I think, Mr. Chairman, if you look at the detail that follows page 9-11, you will see on page 9-12 that there is actually $411,000 less in the line for apprenticeship programs. I recognize this is the result of sunsetting training agreements and that is where it comes from, but I would argue that if there was a real commitment to expand what is being provided for apprenticeship training, we would have at least left the $411,000 there so we could put it into expanding those services that Northerners can see.
