Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is in regard to the statement I made earlier today and, coincidentally, the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment made a statement about the work that the GNWT has been doing with respect to laid-off Con Mine workers. Mr. Speaker, I acknowledge that a lot of good work has been done and the government deserves our thanks for that. I do want to pursue one little aspect of it, and that has to do with the possibility of employing the laid-off workers for cleaning up and reclamation of the Con Mine site, Mr. Speaker. I believe that the question is there are many who might not be able to get a job. They have a certain skill set that could be used to cleanup the Con Mine site, and that could give them transition work until they find some other area of work. So may I asked the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment whether in the Minister's discussions to deal with this issue if any thought has been given to the possibility of using these employees to work at the site until they obtain further work? Thank you.
