Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If ATCO was successful in getting the housing part of this project, they would have to register in the NWT to do business in order to be considered. I am not sure if they are registered already; they could be, Mr. Speaker. As long as they are registered, they would be eligible to receive rate subsidies for apprentices. I think the Minister of Finance has indicated there are a number of factors that would have to be met before we would be involved in developing a human resource plan for this project.

At the present time, the GNWT is monitoring all of the opportunities that might come from a Mackenzie gas project and we would certainly be prepared to ramp up our planning if the project takes off. In particular, I am confident we could take advantage of opportunities that might develop as this project proceeds.

Mr. Speaker, I think we should point out, though, with our training on-the-job funding, we need to make sure that we are targeting it properly. There has to be a balance between smaller companies and big companies and, to their credit, we have a number of large companies in the North, like the diamond mines, that are taking on apprentices right now. While they could qualify for subsidies, they are paying for the entire cost themselves. So we want to take a look at what would be the right approach. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
