Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, it is the responsibility of this government to make sure that training opportunities are available for our citizens. It is something we try to do. We have already, in the Northwest Territories, the highest per capita participation rates in trades training. That doesn't mean we wouldn't like to see it improved. We certainly would. We need to continue to work with programs like ASEP both in the mining and in the oil and gas side in order to make sure that we can maximize opportunities. If the Member is saying that there aren't enough people hearing about opportunities in oil and gas in his communities for training, I will certainly ask our representative on the ASEP board for that region to bring that to the table, because that group should be promoting access to programs within those communities, as well, as the department does. Thank you.
