I will start on that.
The Mining Industry Human Resources Council study looked at what the school system could deliver, and they were part of the study that resulted in those numbers. Because education is a provincial responsibility, a lot of the direct industry connection in Alberta, support for the University of Alberta, the school and training programs, are done at that level, just as they are done at that level in British Columbia, Ontario, etc. Sometimes the challenge is what is the roll-up of all of this and will it be adequate to meet the needs, and what is the labour mobility that results in being able to move labour to hot parts of the economy, as we see in western Canada and the north.
We are clearly working with the federal government and our aboriginal communities, because one of the real long-term needs is greater participation in post-secondary education at the aboriginal level in those skill areas such as mining engineering, geological sciences, environmental sciences, biological sciences, etc., if they're going to be part of a future workforce.
At the same time you've seen huge success, and I'll use Fort McMurray and the NWT as examples, where already through apprenticeship and training programs and even basic skills, reading programs, improving those sorts of skills simply for health and safety reasons in many instances, have resulted in entrepreneurial spin-off activities, which in and of themselves also create future job opportunities for our aboriginal partners. That's something we have to continue to assist and support.
But the educational side has been a tougher challenge just because of the nature of the responsibilities at the educational level, the fact that many operations connected in the first instances at the provincial-territorial level, and there is that sort of national overview that is sometimes a challenge.
