Thank you Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Education. The Minister of Education must remember that when Mr. Kakfwi was the Minister of Education, he initiated an affirmative action program -- or at least the. government did -- to allow that aboriginal people to become qualified teachers and qualified for other positions within the government. Now he is the Minister of Personnel. My question is to the Minister of Education. With that government commitment, will he make the teacher education program permanent rather than a three-year program when they are re-evaluating that three-year project?

Also, it has been reported that Baffin is bound to lose approximately one million dollars; Keewatin probably a similar portion, maybe smaller, but a similar portion; that had allowed the divisional boards to produce Inuktitut programs and hire cultural inclusion programs from that quarterly contribution from the government. Would he then make it a permanent program rather than just a two-year program, because everyone recognizes that they are essential?
