Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask my questions to the Minister of Housing Corporation regarding training opportunities for Novel housing. Mr. Speaker, my understanding of this product is that it's very unique, it's being trademarked and that's what it means, it's a unique product and that's the reason why this government has to go with this at the exclusion of all others. But in terms of a training program, Mr. Speaker, I think that's precisely the kind of thing that we want to talk about for industrial development project like this. We'd like to see training opportunities and the information that I got from the Minister in answer to my written question that was tabled on February 1st indicates that there really is no training program. There's no indication that the Minister has asked Novel, if we go with this project, to provide the training. The Minister just indicated that the Housing Corporation is going to do this and I don't think that's the job of Housing Corporation to do this. If somebody stands to get a $300 million project, the least they can do is set up a training program. So I'd like to ask the Minister if he's ever asked in these negotiations and dealings and many visits to ATCO, did he ever ask them what kind of a training program and how and in what way would they provide that for the North? Thank you.
