I have one quick question.

For obvious reasons there is a significant focal point on aboriginal Canadians. I grew up in a northern community, in Fort McMurray, and I saw the challenges that all young people have, not just aboriginal Canadians.

I want to get your comments on that. I want to make sure we take into account that every young Canadian may need some help in acquiring these skills. I want to get your thoughts with regard to that and what programs you might be providing to every young Canadian you're in touch with.
