Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to thank the Minister because I think he gave an overview of what the level of expectations are along the valley. I think the important point I want to make in my final comments, Mr. Chairman, is that I think we need to take a more proactive role, and talk to not only the unions, but also the private sector, and try to develop a strategic plan that would ensure that we do begin to train the employables on actual pipeline construction sites so they will be prepared from a skill level to participate in the actual project. I believe it is not harmful.

If I may go back, even though we have a greater percentage of our northerners as skilled pipeline labourers, that would be beneficial to our territory. I am trying to define exactly whereabouts would be the best areas we could concentrate on this at the earliest possible level in trying to ascertain training opportunities for our northerners. I believe there are two areas that we have an opportunity to concentrate on, and they are the International Union of Operating Engineers who represent the equipment operators, and the Labourers International Union of North America who represents skilled pipeline labourers. So I am just curious to know, and certainly would support the notion that we should be concentrating on those two specific union groups to put into effect some

kind of training program at the earliest possible date. With that, I am going to ask the Minister, through you, Mr. Chair, if he would address that key question. Thank you.
