Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Yakeleya is absolutely right; the program is right now missing Metis brothers and sisters who should rightly, I think, qualify for this program. As I said earlier today, I would expect to, fairly soon, write to the Minister responsible and encourage the Minister to take a look at how aboriginal people are defined by the Government of Canada and make the case that Metis people should be included in this course. I would welcome the support and the active intervention of Metis locals across the Territories and would encourage them to write to the new Minister and support me in that position. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
