Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The ASEP program is one where the largest funding partner in it is the federal government and we have two in the Northwest Territories, one for $14.8 million around mine training, the other for $9.9 million around oil and gas. It also involves the aboriginal governments bringing their ARDA funding to the table and other funds that they may be able to access, GNWT money and industry money. The program is, we think, very successful. Right now the oil and gas one is scheduled to sunset in March of 2008. That is something that I've mentioned to my federal colleague as something that we need to take a look at renewing. I believe that it's a good enough success story that there is something the federal government would want to hold up as an example of how to invest in training. So I started to make that argument when I had the opportunity. Thank you.
