Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I understand that certain levels of advancement need to be looked at by different levels of university students. I guess my point is to look at a strong entry point where students from the Northwest Territories, students who are in the Sahtu region that could help out. I'm not too sure that requires additional dollars from industry, or requires extra dollars from the federal government or from other agencies. I guess what I'm asking is that because we wouldn't have much of a chance to get our students involved in this program. I know in our region I didn't see very many students -- and I could be wrong on this one here -- from the Northwest Territories who had post-secondary education experience or are working towards a degree from the Northwest Territories working in the Sahtu. I know the rock in the mountains, some of my young people was saying, well, we could climb those mountains. We've been on them for the last four or five days. We could pick the rocks. You know, how come these guys are so special?
They're willing to learn. I guess that's what I'm getting on to the Minister, stressing the strong point that some of our students can certainly spark their interest. I know education is something that geoscientists, they don't really have much of an opportunity as the smaller schools don't allow certain programs in our communities because of the way the system is set up. I know Diamex does that. They hire a couple students out of the Sahtu that worked in the region. They went to the school, they opened up two positions for schools to go out with experienced surveyors and people who worked in that area and they taught the students for at least two weeks. So I make it a plea, I guess, to the department to have a strong push for our own people in the North to work in this area here.
