Thank you, Mr. Chair. You forgot to start my clock. In regards to this apprenticeship, so is it the Red Seal has to be working for the LHO or can it be somebody in town?

Thanks to the Minister to provide that list. As I was writing it, I could not hear the whole thing, so if we can get the Minister to provide that information to us, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. Is the Minister able to provide us a breakdown on how many positions are allocated into each of the LHOs? Thank you, Mr. Chair. Specifically, I guess, Mr. Chair, each LHO? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will probably come back to this part a little bit later on, but I am going to ask the next question with regards to the apprenticeship. What areas are we looking at identifying apprentices? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to build on my colleague's questions about the apprenticeship program. In regards to the apprenticeship program, how many have we done in the last three years, how many positions have been filled? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for his answer. When will they know when this energy plan or these consultations are going to be done? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 234, we talk about wood stove purchases. Was this part of the low-rising money, or was this another thing that was sunsetted? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, and I thank the Minister for his answer. I thought I missed something, so I greatly appreciate it. I was not trying to be -- I will just leave it at that. So I understand we have the Building Canada Fund, I totally understand that, but what I am looking at is this Community Access Program, where if we increased it we would be able to give these smaller communities a better opportunity to develop the roads, or the access roads, or access to the recreational opportunities in the smaller communities. So I have heard the Minister, and again he is going to come back and say we are in...

Thank you for the non-answer, Minister. I appreciate that. The problem is, again, reality is, we live in the territories, we have small communities, not all big centres are not doing all major projects; however, if we would invest a little bit more money in this in the smaller communities we would see a better impact on the other departments such as Health and ECE through income support. So, again, since we are all here to work on this, as the Minister has said, will the Minister and the department start looking at this and putting a better percentage to these access roads, these kinds of...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the answer from the deputy minister. In regard to leases, I notice there is a reduction there. Is that just amalgamation with the two departments and we are eliminating some of the spaces? Is that what it is? Or is it vehicles or stuff like that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
