I'm sure if you approach Tlicho Investment, they will be happy to fill the positions, you know, because we know that trades, we really do need trades and we emphasize that with our young people that, you know -- because many of the trades people that we have right now, they're passed retirement age but there's nobody to come after them. So it's, like, they're still working, you know, like -- and a lot of them are saying that, you know, like, they want to retire but there's nobody to take their job. So, and I'm very grateful, thankful for the housing for having the -- you know, the scholarship programs for trades. So I'm just wondering, so $150,000, why not turn that into a trades -- a scholarship program to -- so that our young people can enter, you know, a trades program. I think that's maybe -- maybe that's the right way, I don't know. But if you don't know what to do with that, you know, like -- a scholarship program, we need scholarship program for trades program. And housing, you know, has that already but I think we need to open it up for the Northwest Territories to attract more young people to enter that -- to trade -- trades program. So I'm just wondering will the Minister, you know, do something about that to maybe create more scholarship program. Thank you.
