I appreciate the comments from the Minister. Mr. Speaker, we’re planning to spend $15 million this year on energy initiatives. Those are new initiatives and that’s not to mention the programs that we’ve already got going, so there is an urgency to this. I know we’re filling up our planes with consultants from the South but that’s not the best use of our resources. We do have some progressive entrepreneurs in the North; for example, Arctic Green Energy, which is working with pellet boilers and so on. I think there’s an Energy Wall Construction company and probably several people could mention companies in their own towns. Are we planning strong, effective and immediate support for an apprenticeship program to ensure that we get the technical expertise

developed by our own people with these progressive companies that are actually struggling because of the shortage of expertise now and would appreciate that support? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
