Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think that was a yes, but I will wait until I reread the transcripts. Mr. Speaker, equivalencies are a problem and I think the Minister knows that very well. So one of the problems I see is that northerners have trouble maybe articulating that, not in all cases but I want to ensure that we get northerners who have ample experience, who are qualified individuals, who are committed to the North, who want to stay here but want to work. I want to ensure that we give them the best opportunity rather than just automatically hiring someone with a degree from Calgary, Toronto or who knows where. I am talking about opportunity for local people who have experience and can bring their wherewithal to the job through these opportunities. Can the Minister look at opportunities where we can put examples and help people with their equivalence and experience to bring that forward on their resumes through our hiring practice? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
