I couldn't agree more. Infrastructure is critical for doing anything in the north. There's a massive deficit. MAC industry research in that area demonstrates that it costs two to two and a half times more to do the same project in the north as it does in the south, so dollar for dollar it's more difficult to attract that same level of investment up north.
I think the decisions that the government has made most recently in Yukon, the Tlicho Road, are very positive. We are hopeful to see a similar investment coming down the pipeline in Nunavut.
With respect to indigenous populations, training is key. We have companies that are investing $500,000 a month in training. They have developed “unique in the world” programs to reach out and meet northern indigenous Canadians where they're at and facilitate community to various different types of opportunities on the site.
We think that the ASETS program is a really important contribution from the federal side to indigenous work-site-specific training. We know that this program in the most recent budget was extended for one year, but is subject to a review. We'll be following that and participating in that review. We think that expanding and better enabling that program to deliver more for indigenous Canadians in workplace training would be a very positive step.
