Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is good to hear that it is going to be seriously considered. I know a lot of the economic activity that the Member did point out really ties up a lot of qualified staff at the district level, not to mention at the community level where it is very, very limited. I know feasibility is always a big question, but I am also aware that many of these seniors' programs that are available for NWT senior citizens are not all...The funds are not diminished all year. Sometimes there is leftover funding, like in the Seniors' Home Repair Program or the Emergency Repair Program. I am just wondering if maybe the corporation could consider just moving the monies around and possibly with the hiring of apprentices and journeymen certificate carpenters to have them available at the district level and using that money to subsidize their wages, travel or anything like that. Is that a possibility? Thank you.
