Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, Mr. Speaker, I was speaking to a contractor the other day and he was telling me that the shortage is so bad for trained individuals that they can't even hire the old, bad people that they got rid of not long before. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to hear what the Education Minister is doing to ensure northerners are ready to take advantage of these opportunities because, as cited by the situation, if 800 potential positions are going to be out there, I want to make sure northerners get a real shot at this and not the guys or women on the line shovelling holes for this pipeline. Will they get real management jobs? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
