Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I mentioned the socio-economic agreements. I imagine the department will be negotiating these agreements with oil and gas companies, and not only the mining companies that are operating in the Northwest Territories. These socio-economic agreements are for the people of the Northwest Territories. We have First Nations that are negotiating impact benefit agreements or participation agreements that are similar to the socio-economic agreements. When the Minister's department puts a program together for training, is it specific to a geographic location? For example, let's say the Dogrib or Akaitcho people in their relationship with the mining companies want a training program for their people. Does the department work with such a group and develop a program just for that group or do they invite or welcome anybody from the Northwest Territories, whether it's Tuktoyaktuk or Fort Smith, for that matter, to participate in that particular training program. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
