Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This House unanimously supported the ratification of the Nunavut T.F.N. land claims. The 1993-94 capital project, the connection of the Iqaluit Museum to the Unikkaakvik Centre, represents the first effort that the department and this government are making to create a regional museum. These facilities will be Baffin depository for Nunavut artifacts currently stored in Yellowknife. It will be a centre from which materials can be shipped to Baffin communities to the heritage program there. There is an increased need to get on with the devolvement of a strong regional heritage program and to get the facilities in place well before other infrastructures initiatives commence. With the current facility program plan being three years old, it is expected that the work in 1993-94 will include a review, and updating of the program plan followed by architectural drawings. I would very strongly recommend that the connection between the existing Iqaluit Museum and the Unikkaakvik Centre be allowed to proceed so that it can be created as an air controlled facility. Thank you.
