Mr. Speaker, this is not a supplementary, but I did not hear the Minister's answer?

Mr. Speaker, since his department has reduced this particular activity by $980,000, and since the Legislative Assembly has asked him to develop a strategy to address office renovations, is this letter that he sent out to the Members justifying his strategy?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The office plan was developed to address the needs of all departments. This is the letter I sent to Members. I am not saying it is a strategy, but my understanding was that the motion in committee of the whole recommended that all office accommodation be deferred until a plan is developed. After that, the same committee passed the budget. I was wondering if they still wanted to defer it. If they do not defer it, can we go ahead and do the office renovations and accommodations that we have to do as a department? I was sending a letter to all Members saying this is the plan that was developed by DPW, and that this is the plan I am going to follow. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister of DPW is indicating to me that he does not have to develop a plan and a strategy which should be approved by the Legislative Assembly for office renovations; therefore, he is not complying to the committee's motion. Thank you.

Question O502-12(2): Restrictions On Government Spending Lifted

Fred Koe Inuvik
I have a question for the Government Leader. When cabinet was appointed, and once the magnitude of the government's finances -- especially the deficit -- was realized, restrictions were placed on government spending, government travel and hiring. Now that we are into a new fiscal year, have these spending restrictions been lifted?

Mr. Speaker, the restrictions have been lifted as of April 1, 1992. The deputy ministers have been asked to be responsible and take heed in the funding that they are allocating and the money that is being expended. Thank you.

Question O503-12(2): Contribution Payments To Boards Of Education
Item 5: Oral Questions

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Education. Mr. Speaker, the matter of quarterly payments to boards of education has been discussed at some length in this House. The department has also been dispersing contributions to Arctic College on a quarterly basis. Like the school boards, the college has been using investment dollars from these lump sum payments to support programs and services. My question to the Minister is this: What communications has he received from the of Arctic College Board of Governors regarding the quarterly or monthly payments from the contributions schedule for the 1992-93 fiscal year?

Thank you, Mr' Speaker, I have had private meetings with the Arctic College Board of Governors as well as with the chairman with respect to their funding. I have received some letters from communities explaining that quarterly funding is very important to the college. Also, the board has written a letter to me, stating that they would prefer to see quarterly funding rather than monthly funding.

Is it the department's position that there are reasons why Arctic College funding should be disbursed on a different basis than to schools? Is there going to be any difference in the way in which we fund Arctic College from the way in which we fund schools? Given that both utilize the funds for extraordinary services.
