Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would say that in general this is more of an ECE lead question but from a Housing NWT perspective, training and a smaller number of tradespeople in communities has been something that has been a barrier. We did just recently have a conversation with ECE about trying to improve and support folks to want to go into the trades from a housing perspective. It's really important, in particular, because of the distinctions-based funding and the funding that we have to build and there only being a certain number of trades people, right, so there's more work than we have for the apprentices. One thing we're also doing is putting apprentice work packages into the contracting that we're doing for some of our builds. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
