Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wanted to first ask relative to apprenticeship and occupations, I know that the department works in conjunction with the Mine Training Society and they are doing a great job of providing training and jobs basically for many of our young people. I am somewhat concerned, though, that the funding, the federal funding for that program restricts applicants to Aboriginal persons and I’ve had several inquiries from constituents whether or not there is any space within the Mine Training Society for P2s as opposed to P1s. I’ve been advised that if there’s space, that P2s can get in there, but that’s a pretty hit and miss proposition. Both times I’ve been informed that the constituents have tried and have been advised that the program was full. So I would like to know from the Minister whether or not there is any consideration on the part of the department to hold, basically pay for, one, possibly two spaces or seats at the Mine Training Society for P2s. Thank you.
