That sounds great. I appreciate the Minister providing that information. I think this is a great program, as I’ve said before. We need to have these apprentices out in the communities where the need is greatest.

I want to follow up on the detail I sort of flagged in my general comments. There is $925,000 identified in ECE for creation of job opportunities in our communities, small and rural communities specifically. I am going to assume that there’s a pretty good match with our housing programs in the communities there. Again, I see this as an opportunity for the Minister to strike out in a new way to, in a cross-departmental approach, engage with this opportunity by providing some of the job opportunities which are a goal of ECE and I think this government as a whole within the context of public housing. There would be some challenges. I’m the first to admit in doing things a new way, they’re going to be front-line and have to do the policy work and explore what liabilities are and then deal with those liabilities, if any, and so on. I see a real opportunity, and many have. I think many of my colleagues and perhaps even the Minister has considered the opportunities we have in so many public housing clients who are unemployed but able bodied, to at the same time put them to work in a valuable way both to themselves and to society and to the goals of government, in this case both ECE and the Housing Corporation.

Could I get a commitment from the Minister to thoroughly explore and ideally identify and put in motion some action to start exploring and looking at the operational possibilities of this sort of new approach?
