Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I need to make note of the fact that this is one of the divisions where more is being allocated under other expenses than compensation and benefits. I don't understand why something like a program would be budgeted under fees and payments. Maximizing northern employment is a separate program on its own. I really think that the Members on this side should work with the government to change the way we allocate these budget numbers and how we categorize them. Having said that, Mr. Chairman, earlier today I tabled a document and it was an expression of interest for corporate training. The tender went out under the Executive under the Premier's name, and this was in the paper on March 8th, in the News/North, and the closing of this tender is March 19th. So it is about an 11-day time frame. It is probably less than that in working days, and it is a pretty complicated package. It says corporate training, and it is a contract for two years, and it is to provide training to a broad range of jobs across government. I would like to ask the Minister for some more information. I am assuming that this contract would come under this item, the Minister can correct me if I am wrong, and if he would direct me to the right area I would be prepared to ask questions in the right time thereto. Thank you.
