Thanks, Mr. Chair. Certainly, the area of building capacity in our tradespeople across the Northwest Territories is important for us. We have increased the allocation for apprentices. I think we will be allocating up to 15 apprenticeships across the territories. It's certainly something that there is a need for. I know it's a small number, but, working with the LHOs, we support 15 LHOs on apprenticeships, and it used to be 12, so we have increased it by three this year, and we will continue to increase. There is also a program with CMHC that LHOs could subscribe to, that they could get funding to support youth training. It's a youth program run by CMHC, and it has been very successful in Nunavut and also in some of our Beaufort communities. Paulatuk, for example, has accessed this funding in the past. So, working with our federal partners, we are able to train a lot of people. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
