I think we see it as a strategic initiative that's so important because the cost for us to have to import southern trade labour drives up the cost of construction throughout Nunavut. We certainly recognize the opportunity to have more local trade and labour involvement, and I think we do.
In each community, we look at the availability of labour and we put specific targets for local labour and Inuit labour in our construction contracts to try to drive that. I think we've made progress, but in all honesty, there is so much more we need to do.
It really is about small incremental steps. I think we're going in that direction, but we have to continue to figure out ways to drive more opportunity. Some of it is not only increased investment, because that is the primary message, but it's more sustained investment too. If we could have a larger construction program where we had funding in place for five years and 10 years, then I think you could say to those individuals that it's not just a one-year or two-year opportunity—in Igloolik we are building for multiple years—to try to keep them interested in that career opportunity.
More needs to be done, without question, to try to drive increased labour from Nunavummiut and Inuit across the territory.
