Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. Mr. Speaker, as I noted, we need these people trained today, given the opportunity of acquiring their tickets so that when that opportunity is before us we don't hear industry saying sorry, you can't get those jobs, you don't have your people trained, they aren't qualified and we're going to bring in people from the South. We have a real opportunity to take advantage of a pipeline that's going to be built down the Mackenzie Valley by having our people build it, our own people taking advantage of the opportunities and having the people with the skills come from our communities so we don't have to depend on southern labour to do that.

So with that, Mr. Speaker, I will be asking the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment questions on what he's doing to ensure that we have the resources and the dollars in our communities to give these people the training opportunities they need now for these projects coming down the road. Thank you.
