Mr. Chair, I want to ask the Minister through working with the Board of Governors if they would work with high schools in small communities to implement a trade program in the school. I know the school in Tulita is working hard to see if they can get some funding. It’s over $100,000 to do a small trades program in Chief Albert Wright School. They are having a hard time to fundraise. Aurora College has a trades program. I wonder if that’s something that the Board of Governors and this Minister could look at creatively in conjunction with high schools that want to have trade programs in their schools. There are a lot of young people leaving our schools and they really want to go into the trades program. There is really nothing there for them in the communities in the Sahtu. It would be helpful if the Minister could look at something like that. That would be beneficial to the people in our communities.
