Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Residents of Nunakput are leaving the region to work in other parts of Canada around the world. Recruiting Northern residents is key to keeping our language and cultures in the workplace strong. I believe that we need to start implementing northern education for northern residents. Land claim agreements and on-the-land programs are important programs that need to be part of the curriculum in everyday life in schools in the North. The NWT is one of the most diverse regions in Canada and around the world. Take a look at the fur industry. This is a great example. The Junior Kindergarten Program is an effective way to give children in the North an opportunity to assert a good education and I encourage this program to continue. By the tone of my voice, you probably know who I'm going to ask this question. This is towards the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Are there any programs in place to ensure that our new graduates and skilled workers stay in the NWT? Quyanini.
