Nobody, repeat, nobody is trying to impede the aspirations of the people of Pond Inlet as it relates to the education of their children.

---Applause

There is insufficient evidence being provided by this Minister that shows that the quality of education with the community high school program is meeting the needs of the children. Provide us with that evidence, and we will support it. It is not a $5000 issue here; it is an $8.6 million issue. That is our long-term financial obligation.

We are talking about policy. We are talking about, is this policy of developing high schools in the communities the proper policy for educating our children? That is all we are talking about here, not whether it is the aspirations of parents, or whether it is the aspirations of a particular individual or a particular group. There is insufficient data that has been provided to us so far, as far as we are concerned in the standing committee on finance, for us to proceed with these kinds of expenditures, and we have asked the Minister to provide this to us. What is the long-term high school policy of the territorial government? That is all we are asking with this resolution, nothing else. It could come back in again. You could do it with a special warrant. There are all kinds of ways to get around this.
