Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I have committed to getting those numbers. I can certainly have it provided by communities throughout the Northwest Territories. Sometimes the numbers are one or two, so we want to be cautious about confidentiality, but we will get those numbers to you. As of June 2nd, 562 applications, 217 hires. There are still some offers out there that aren't fully counted in that. I do hear the Member. I know the Ministers hear the Member. We have to think about magnitude here. There has to be work too. There has to be meaningful work for these summer students to do. Hiring summer students and not having them do anything that is going to help them develop a skill set or help them build their resumes is not particularly helpful. The GNWT is not the only employer out there. We have lots of students coming back. We will certainly do our best to hire as many as we can.
There are some questions. I have heard a lot of individuals say we are paying some of these summer students incredible sums of money. We are paying them based on the collective agreement that we have negotiated with the UNW base and the work that we are having them perform, there has been a lot of discussions about those types of thing, whether we should create a category of summer students and have them do temp-type work or random-type work. But those would need to be defined and evaluated and compensated. All of these things do come with a price tag. Every one of these things comes with a price tag. Happy to have further discussion on this. Happy to hear what the Members have to say. But as a caution, there are other employers. We only have so much money. We are working hard to, at least, meet previous year's numbers, and we will continue to do so.
