Thank you, Madam Chair. First of all, I want to make a comment on the whole headquarters of the college. I am very happy that Fort Smith will be the education centre for the North, as usual. I am happy also that the Beaufort-Delta will be taking the climate change part. I think that's important because of all of the conditions in the Arctic that are changing. I'm excited about the whole rollout of the polytechnic university.

First of all, before I do this, I want to ensure that all the instructors at all three colleges, especially the Fort Smith campus, the Aurora College there, that we have a wide variety of knowledge people there, who are very engaged in their programs and engaged in what they do, and they contribute to the community. I also want to ensure that -- it was a big strain on the community of Fort Smith when we had all these announcements, "The headquarters has to go here," and "The headquarters has to go there," and the right decision was made.

We have some incredible programs. The teacher education program has been there for many years, and a lot of people who went through the teacher education program advanced to other careers. One of those people I know, and there's quite a few of them. Some of them are working for you now, and some of them have gone on to become MP of the Northwest Territories. There's a lot of potential. Most of them also spoke their own languages. I want to ensure that the teacher education program keeps its -- because they offer the four years, now. One year is kind of off on the side with the Saskatchewan University, but I'd like to see in the future that the whole Bachelor of Education degree will be in place in the community to ensure that, because we always need teachers. We are bringing them in from all over the place, and I think it's time that we start mentoring our own to ensure that they are also capable to teaching at the schools. We do have some who are in Fort Smith, but I'm sure that the communities would prefer their own teachers from their area, speaking the language, and that's extremely important. I just want to see what the Minister has to say on that, Madam Chair. Thank you.
