Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Since I've been in the position, I've been to a couple of FTP meetings where the concerns were brought forward of having skilled workers meeting the in-demand jobs, particularly for each jurisdiction. The Northwest Territories is no different, so, when we're looking at our nominee program, we want to make sure that we're bringing people in to meet the needs of the business community when they can't find workers locally or even nationally; that, if we do bring in immigrants to fill these gaps in the jobs, that they are actually skilled workforce to meet those in-demand jobs. It's a concern right across the country, and we're no different in the North, but, once we do the nominee program, we want to make sure that we're getting people coming in that are going to be able to meet those in-demand jobs needs. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
