Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have the Aboriginal Skills Employment Program in the Northwest Territories that has $13 million to put into training. This is an operation that is funded by the federal government, GNWT, industry and aboriginal governments. What we do there is work with the pipeline companies and the oil industries to make sure that people are offered training to get into the jobs that are going to be relevant. So we know that a lot of the jobs aren't going to be pipeline related in the future; the pipeline is always seen as something that would stimulate a broader field of endeavours. So we're trying to make sure that we have people who are trained for the ancillary jobs that you'll find when fields of gas are opened up. Thank you.
