(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am not sure whether the students from Resolute and Arctic Bay will be able to attend the high school in Pond Inlet. Students from Pond Inlet will be the first priority to be able to attend the high school there. If there is room for students from other communities, such as Resolute and Arctic Bay, they will be able to attend the high school in Pond Inlet.

The motion that was passed yesterday deleted the project for a junior high school for Pond Inlet. In 1990 the Baffin Divisional Board of Education, as well as the education committee from Pond Inlet, met with the Russian delegation to discuss the joint education project, to comply with the agreement that was established between the GNWT and the Russians.

In the 1991-92 capital budget there was funding for the project approved by the Legislative Assembly. It became obvious to the Department of Education last year that there was not enough capital funding to go ahead with construction of the school, so they deferred it for one more year. The students who come from Pond Inlet will be able to attend the high school in Pond Inlet, but the students from communities outside could go to Iqaluit or they may not go to school at all. Thank you.
