Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will endeavour to answer some of them. At the present time, we have about 240 apprentices. I believe we set a target of about 270 in our business plan for the end of next year. We have about 44 designated trades in the Territories as well, of which 29 are eligible for red seal, which allows mobility across the country.
In terms of specific SNAP numbers, I am sorry I do not have them here. As the Minister indicated, we have just opened a new SNAP entrance program in the Inuvik region with ten students. I understand another one is under consideration as well.
In addition to the specific numbers related to enrolment, Mr. Chairman, we have also looked at expanding our programming that is available in the North so that northern apprentices can stay in the North while they take their training. To do that, we have expanded our welding program, welding apprenticeship theory courses and the plumbing theory courses at Thebacha Campus in Fort Smith.
One other point, Mr. Chairman, is in addition to the specific trades areas, we are certainly involved in discussions at the high school level about occupational certification areas involving students in occupational certification. I guess there are a couple of examples of that that I would point to, such as the Tourism Careers Program that was run last year here in Yellowknife.
There is quite a broad approach. We are certainly looking at what can be done at the high school level as well as the junior high level. We are just completing our career development draft, which we expect will influence how we introduce the careers, specifically how we introduce things like trades a bit earlier in students' education careers so they can do some effective planning. Thank you.
