Mr. Speaker, I can think of maybe a couple of inquiries over the course of the last three years of my capacity as Minister of ITI of people who were concerned that they lost a job at the mines, or weren't able to get a job at the mines. I can't speak to every case, obviously, but I think invariably one of the things that we find is the people don't have the required skills or training oftentimes, Mr. Speaker. That is not always the case, but I think there are also sometimes lifestyle challenges or choices that people have made. It is our job, as government, to work with people to make sure they get the training they need to be successful and take part in our economy. Obviously, the Minister for ECE and I are very much involved in trying to make that happen. Thank you.
