Thank you, Madam Chair. Not to belabour the point, but if you are 22 years old, you have a job, you have fallen out of high school for whatever reason, there are no funding opportunities for you. How do we help these people upgrade their skills? I know they can go to income support if they were at that sort of bracket, if they were in the income support bracket. But because maybe they have a job, they don't qualify for income support. I have heard of UCEP funding out there, but there are only a couple of seats for UCEP funding on the federal level, so that would mean that they wouldn't apply for that. If you are 22 years old, relatively working to some degree or not, you don't qualify for income support, you don't qualify for maybe one of the 10 particular federal funding UCEP seats, and you want to get out there and improve your standing in life which you are sort of tied to at that moment. As I see it, the education system may, in essence, fail you.
Because I see my time is up, I will make it very quick. SAIT offers a program on the type of methodology that they use that if they fail you in the sense that their programs have failed you, you can't get a job in the faculty you have studied under and graduated under, they will bring you back and retrain you. What does the education system in the Northwest Territories do when someone has fallen out of the system and the blessed tree of the education system and they have nowhere to go? You are
22. You are working. You can't get funding anywhere, but you need a basic minimum to get into upgrading, but nobody helps support you. So what are you supposed to do? Thank you, Madam Chair.
