Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would agree with the Member that there are tremendous opportunities for northerners in the trades. We have a lot of potential. We know that there's going to be a lot of jobs, and a lot of jobs will be in the trades area, so we welcome all sorts of partnerships when it comes to trades training. Just as the Kimberlite Centre, the Yellowknife Catholic Schools came to us and said we've managed to raise half of the money through the private sector, will you provide the other half of the money. If a similar proposal comes from another community, obviously it's something that we have to take a look it. If we've done it in one community, we have to be prepared to consider it in others. So the same sort of approach we would be prepared to see what we could do to support in a similar manner.
