Mr. Speaker, in the Northwest Territories we are in need of tradespeople; we are in need of jobs in a lot of our smaller communities. The idea behind investing the $200 million in the Northwest Territories is to have that $200 remain in the Northwest Territories. We have programs already through our college programs in regards to apprenticeship programs where we're already looking at putting 500 houses on the ground over the next three years. We're going to need people to do it. The majority of those houses are going to go into communities over the next three years. The same people that are going to be working on these houses in the next three years are going to have the training to be able to become apprenticeships, carpenters, plumbers, electricians. We want those people to build in the Northwest Territories and our communities. So they remain in the Northwest Territories, they're able to take advantage of the economic opportunities, but the money stays in the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, I don't know what's wrong with that.
