Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Creating a trades centre has been brought up in this House as well. We are fully aware of the activity that is happening in the Sahtu region and also in other regions. That’s why we are working closely with the regional training partners in that area and also including the ITI department as well. The college needs to be involved, the Aboriginal organizations and also industry. We’re compiling all the information from them. We need to find out the community’s needs, the individual needs, what kind of training that’s going to be required, what can the college deliver and what can the community deliver. We need to find who’s available, so that’s where the community organizations will come in. We need to continue to partner up with this to maximize the opportunities for the people of the Sahtu region. That’s our overall mandate, our goal, to push that forward. Eventually, there will be various training programs that will be happening on top of what they have right now. Mahsi.
