Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The program is there. I cannot tell you today. It may lapse some money this year, but we anticipate with the thrust we are taking, it certainly is not going to lapse money next year. So it becomes a case of where do you direct the money then? It was specifically designed with the purpose of training for the Government of the Northwest Territories to bring employees in, to create efficiency in the system and to allow departments to train individuals and to bring them in. They are individuals from throughout the Northwest Territories. It is a mechanism by which we can ensure that individuals who are Northerners are brought into the system, Mr. Chairman.

I recognize the concern the Member is expressing. I believe that needs to be addressed in another fashion. We are trying to deal as much as we can with the maximizing employment program to identify areas of concern and areas of need.

I think it would be better addressed by another mechanism because the uptake of this could be quickly exhausted next year, Mr. Chairman. I have to ensure that it was set in place with that purpose. So it needs to be sustained with that in mind. Thank you.
