Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask questions to the Minister of Human Resources and it's in regards to the Minister's statement he made yesterday about the summer student employment. Mr. Speaker, the Minister stated that in 2006 the GNWT provided employment to 343 summer students, and as of this week 195 students have been hired. I want to ask the Minister whether or not the number of student employment positions available has been reduced this year, because on the streets parents and university students are suggesting that government is not hiring as many summer students. A while back I think we all received an e-mail from HR -- I think it's a public e-mail -- where there was a list of university students or students in post-secondary education who are still looking for jobs and it was quite numerous. It was either indicating we have a lot of students who are in school or there are lots of students who are not able to find jobs. So can I ask the Minister whether there has been a reduction in the number of positions available? Thank you.
