Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I just, yeah, want to continue on with this conversation. I too find this all to be quite confusing and think that it definitely needs to not be a one-size-fits-all answer because for me, if an Indigenous organization is doing it, that's great; we're going to empower them and then to take care of their people. But in Yellowknife, I find it hard because I don't know how I can ask or intervene because it is a third party entity. It doesn't make sense here because we don't have an entity that's, you know, an Indigenous organize -- or government that's specific to Yellowknife itself. So I also agree that some sort of change for maybe Yellowknife and efficiencies could be found and then, yes, leave communities to come up with their own solutions for that.

My question, though, is around the apprenticeship program here. I'm glad to see there's more money there -- I'm so blind -- between -- from the 2020 actuals to now. But I guess my question is knowing that apprenticeship programs and such are a continuum, and they -- you know, there's a three, four-year type situation that goes on, how do we make sure that we're being efficient and not losing apprentices out of the system? We have a high turnover often of employment in the North, and I guess I worry that there would be employees that start an apprenticeship program maybe with the housing corp or somewhere else, and then they can't move that to others, or can they? Like, so are we ensuring that they're not just getting kind of these piecemeal parts of an apprenticeship program without actually getting to be apprentices? And I'm wondering what mechanism -- or sorry, getting to be journey people, and what mechanism is being used to kind of track that efficiency? I'm not sure if I really explained that well but the Minister or deputy minister can comment. Thank you.
