Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as always, the Department of Human Resources has set up the summer student employment program whereby we ask students to provide us with their resumes. We include them in a database which is shared with departments. Ultimately, the hiring of summer students is a department responsibility, each one of the individual departments. We do collect those resumes. When the departments indicate that they have a need, we forward the resumes that meet the job criteria that they're looking for, and we actually help facilitate the hire. But the hires are actually, ultimately, the responsibility of the individual departments. To support some of the departments, we do have the summer student related-experience program where we do provide some financial assistance to the departments to offset some of the costs of hiring summer students, and we also facilitate the related-experience program offered through health and social services. So there's a number of things we do to support departments, but, ultimately, the hiring of summer students is the responsibility of the individual departments, boards, and agencies of the GNWT. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
