Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, with regard to the programs that are out there, a lot of funds are accessible to aboriginal organizations such as dollars within Indian Affairs, especially with regard to the non-renewable resource area. I feel that we have to try to attract as many dollars and resources as we can from other federal funding sources, especially when it comes to training and curriculum development and finding the institutions or the mechanism of delivering those programs.

Through the Arctic College program, we have programs in just about all of the communities in the Mackenzie Delta. One of the problems I see is we administer programs, but usually there are not enough resources to really attract qualified people to train or people to put on these courses. In order to attract good people, we have to pay good money.

Has the Minister looked at finding ways to coordinate with other organizations to either sponsor a program that we come up with so much money and another organization will come with so much money? So instead of having a third of a position, you are able to have a full position or a three-quarter position?

That is one of the problems I hear in communities. The money that we get is either not sufficient or we are not able to attract good people to fill those positions, but by partnering with groups to look at that...we have to start doing that a lot more. Have they considered looking at partnerships when it comes to hiring instructors to deliver programs?
