Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the attempt has been there to design programs to help people obtain the credentials to move into the labour force. Our programs are designed along those lines. More and more, we are looking for direct type of experiences for individuals, be it apprenticeships or, as I mentioned, the training program, the welding program we have in place. There are a number of those, Mr. Speaker. There is also the opportunity for individuals to gain employment with the various mine sites and so forth. There is an opportunity within communities to gain employment. The School of Community Government with MACA helps to train individuals who work for municipalities and local groups. That's another opportunity for individuals to gain experience, so they can obtain possible employment in their local setting. We all know that the employment levels in the territory are extremely high. The unemployment levels are very low. More and more opportunities are arising for individuals to enter the workforce, but they may not always be specifically in the community in which the individual lives. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
