Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question directed to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Mr. Speaker, as I noted in my presentation, there's some 810 jobs that are going to be available in the pre-preparation stage that is prior to the construction of the pipeline. Mr. Speaker, that's a lot of jobs, especially for people in our small communities who may be unemployed or looking for an opportunity to get out of the government handouts, which is income support. I think this is a perfect opportunity for this government to change the lives of people in our communities and make our communities a better place to live with people really having some opportunities.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister, since the mandate of his department is to access quality programs and services and make them available so people who want to make positive choices and their families are able to get education, training, careers, employment opportunities, child development, language, culture and heritage. One of the fundamental points that the Minister and his department are responsible for is assisting individuals to meet their basic financial needs. What is your department doing to ensure we take advantage of the opportunities in our regions right now by way of training programs?
