Mr. Chairman, also another area that I think we have to be constant with or consider is in regards to when we basically put out calls for certain positions. We basically develop a sort of criteria for a person you are looking for. A lot of times those same people are here in the North but they may not pop up with the criteria you are looking for. They are almost there but they are not quite certified or they don’t have the certification to fulfill that position.

I think one thing that we are missing in this government that they used to have in the past is in regards to...It is too bad that we still don’t have it. It is in the whole area of training and in-house training where you actually have people that you hire at a certain level and give them the time to achieve that objective of what the condition of that person you are looking for. We can’t find the people that we want but we have people in the North living here who have certain certifications, but they may not have a master’s degree but basically have a diploma of some sort that gives them that certification. They have the basic understanding of that position. I would like to know is that something that we can consider when we talk about recruitment that we offer these positions, subject to those people concluding those positions. I hate to use the position of health care workers or looking at mental health workers because I have been talking about it for three days.

The point I am trying to make is that there are people in the Northwest Territories who have certain degrees, but may not meet these standards of what we are looking for but they are here. How can we entice those people to come work for the Government of the Northwest Territories, give a little bit of training, get them certified and get them into the workplace?
