That is our average family in the Eastern Arctic, 12 people, 12 beds in one five-bedroom house for $80,000. Why a 12-bed hostel? It would be nine times more expensive. Is there something wrong with the design? Can it not be constructed a little cheaper?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On the advice of the Department of Public Works, that is the amount we are told we would spend in order to construct this hostel. It is a 12-bed hostel that would include the hostel parents. We agree we will look at the project. I will work with the Minister of DPW to see if he can cut expenditures in this project.

During the last Assembly there was a direction implemented by the former government in regard to trying to get away from having student hostels and to go into the home boarding concept. I believe it was on that basis that some initiatives in some regions were dropped and this whole new concept was accepted. Is this government again changing its direction with regard to student hostels? Are we looking at this all over and going to move in that direction regardless of the cost factor, whether it is cheaper to homeboard students as opposed to building these expensive facilities?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Since the government started to use home parents as an alternative to hostels, that has been most successful in most cases. In Fort Simpson, unfortunately, we are at the capacity to use the home boarding. Whenever possible we will try to use the home boarding as a way to educate kids that are not from that particular community. At the current time in Fort Simpson we are at our limits.

So this is a whole new facility being built? We are no longer looking at using the existing hostel.
