Human Resources committee  They did. If you look at the documents I gave you, you can see that, in that group of 25 students, 20 completed the training and four did not because they had to take some modules again, or do make-up exams.

Human Resources committee  Correct.

Human Resources committee  Exactly right.

Human Resources committee  When we got the funding for the project, it was for five years. In the first year, the consortium was put together and there were no activities. Then we had to advertise all over Quebec in order to make ourselves known, we had to identify and recruit clients and put the various training courses together.

Human Resources committee  First of all, it is true that, as of March 31, 2012, we no longer receive funding. As a result, we have no new cohort of students, in spite of the requests we have received. What you mentioned earlier is also the case in remote areas. I had the opportunity to go to Schefferville and Matimekosh to meet with six mining companies who were ready to hire people.

Human Resources committee  I will be honest with you. At the moment, we have not been allocated any federal money. Funding stopped last March 31. But we still get a lot of requests for training: for trucking in Natashquan, for heavy equipment operation in Sept-Îles, and for carpentry in Forestville. The requests keep piling up but we keep waiting.

Human Resources committee  It is a five-year project.

Human Resources committee  Bon matin. Good morning. It's an honour and a pleasure for me to be here this morning to talk to you about the Vocational Training Centre for Aboriginals in the Construction Trades. This vocational school was the project that was created and funded by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, HRSDC, under the aboriginal skills employment project, ASEP.
