Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And absolutely, I love the opportunity to respond to this.

I just want to say a huge thank you to the Member for that comment because I think it really drives home that this isn't, you know, one organization or one entity in the Northwest Territories working in a silo and working alone. It really does, at the end of the day, take everybody working together in order to make these changes, you know, from grassroots in each individual community to really build a stronger, healthier North. And I think that really have to recognize that and celebrate it and, as the Member says, work together on it.

ECE has certainly been working specifically with Tlicho government. I have had the opportunity to meet quite regularly with Tlicho investment corporation as well on their training and development plans which I think speaks quite passionately to some of the things that the Member is speaking about as well, and there's also within each of our regional offices very passionate staff working to really take our labour market programs and do exactly this type of work.

So, you know, for example, our skills development program where people who might not have the education or work experience needed can partake in different programs through the employer or through the organization, and ECE will certainly support that with either wage subsidies or even with training dollars. And so bridging those programs to the people is absolutely something that we're passionate about doing. And I would invite anybody to reach out to me because I love being able to talk about these programs and connect people to them. Thank you.
