Thank you, Madam Speaker. Picking up on my Member's statement from earlier today, I'd like to say that the Minister and the government are saying all the right things about apprenticeship and the need to develop a skilled workforce here in the Northwest Territories. Madam Speaker, the reality is that's not the case for all the apprentices, and where there is smoke there is fire. I know the Minister received an e-mail yesterday outlining some difficulties a constituent of one of my colleagues was having, and the scenario that I outlined for him earlier today is not one that I haven't heard before and I have heard some serious concerns about the apprenticeship office and the difficulty apprentices are having accessing the needs and the services that they require. I'd like to ask the Minister of ECE if it's not the role of the apprenticeship office to help northerners enter the trades. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
