Mr. Chair, I want to say certainly the communities will look forward to this type of funding. Certainly this type of government and the Minister has been listening to this side of the table here in terms of what challenges we have to deal with in our small communities in terms of bringing the trades or specialized training into our communities that they have longed for for many years. It’s certainly good on this government here and this Minister to get this on the go and to see what results we will have in our communities.

I wanted to ask the Minister also in terms of the schools in our region. I know the issue of vandalism has been quite a topic in one of my communities and especially with an asset such as a school here and that we wanted to look at some solutions along with the leadership in the communities in terms of keeping our assets in a safe manner for the schools here. Is there any type of funding or capital dollars looking at adding a security system in our schools that the schools can apply for, rather than taking out of their own budget in terms of the education boards; that the government can offer to have security systems in some of our schools? That seems to be attracting a lot of attention of some of

the community members that are vandalizing our school here.
