Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is obviously correct. He knows what he is talking about. There is a lack of trades persons in the Northwest Territories. Across Canada, in fact, that is the situation, and the situation is not getting any better. The department, recognizing this, did create the Apprenticeship, Trades and Occupational Certification Strategy and implemented that in 2017. We are now looking at how things have gone so far, looking at the subsidies that we are providing, going back and talking to industry and saying, "How else can we change this program? It ran for a few years; where are the successes? What can we improve on?" We are beginning that work. From there, hopefully, we can make changes and get more people involved. That is one of the things that we are doing, so we are re-evaluating all of that.

As I spoke about in this House previously, we are also looking at ways to get more women into trades, and recently the ATOC board, the Apprenticeship, Trades and Occupational Certification Strategy board, got together and discussed how can they do that. There are representatives on there from industry and other organizations, so that work is being done.

We are looking at every avenue. There are now discussions with the North Slave Correctional Centre. They are in the process of hiring an instructor, and ECE has reached out to that instructor to explain what we can provide in terms of support for inmates who want to get into trades. We are looking at every avenue because we recognize this is an issue that needs addressing. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
