Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my questions are also for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment and it's regarding the same issue as the Member for Kam Lake has raised. When I was listening to Mr. Ramsay's statement, I thought maybe he was reading the correspondence that I received from my constituent because the stories are exactly the same. I think the Minister is aware of this issue because I have been copied a letter that was sent to him. It has to do with some young person who wants to get into an apprenticeship program to get his plumbing certificate and he's learning that because of a lack of resources or obstacles in their office that he's not even able to register as an apprentice this year. He has to wait until 2006 to be even registered. That would set him back another two years. In the times that we have where we don't have enough tradespeople and where there should be more focus and where there should be more efficiency rather than obstacles, it just baffles me why this is the case. I would like to know what the Minister's best answer is to this question.
