Having worked at drill camps and with northern nations I understand that the biggest problem is with training. It is difficult to hand over expensive machinery and technical jobs to inexperienced because they are "there." I believe some of the leaders of the communities have not fully accepted responsibility and helped enough to get the training they needed. Several years have gone by with these leaders waiting far to long to have the workforce that they want employed, trained, without the exploration company involvement. Why do the exploration companies become the scapegoat over federal, provincial and LOCAL government. Supporting their cause is needed to help them get the early training now but much of this training should of occured over the past years. This by the looks has been the bigger problem. Time for all the governments to step up and start major educational support to our northern people who have occupied the canadian wilderness for the rest of Canada to say that we own this remote land. The next few months need to have a prolonged action, not discussion, for on the job support and training for northern workforces.
