Mr. Chairman, with regard to the second paragraph, "curriculum development takes place through a review development implementation cycle, and focuses on the development of culturally-based curricular development of aboriginal language programs, and related materials takes place within divisional board centres for teaching and learning. Training programs for principals and professional staff, school community counsellors and aboriginal language staff are offered on a ongoing basis."
You do have estimates for the school branches, but how much exactly are we talking about in this program? You have principals, and professional staff training in there.

We are looking for that now, Mr. Chairman, can you give us a few seconds? Mr. Chairman, page 18-37, school curriculum services, $761,000. I think that Mr. Gargan asked about language and cultural programs, aboriginal languages $1.389 million and, English and French, $168,000.

Mr. Chairman, can I request the committee, to defer the schools until we know the numbers of those training programs, because basically we are dropping some programs, but we are not dropping others.

I am not clear on the recommendation that the honourable Member is moving that we defer the matter relating to schools. Could you clarify the purpose of that deferral? Thank you. Mr. Gargan.

We do not have that information, Mr. Chairman. I would like to have it deferred, since we are talking about training programs for principals and professional staff. We are dropping programs in the same department, for example the leadership program, has been dropped.

I first indicated to the honourable Member, that the matter of the leaders program was dealt with in advanced education. The matter of schools, Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First of all, in terms of principals training or development, the Department of Education has allotted $40,000 and, of course, we do not know the professional development funds that they have for themselves, $40,000 from the Department of Education. Thank you.

We do not actually have a professional amount, or is that $40,000 part of the training program for Principals and Professional Staff?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. No, we would not know, however, the deductions I used are based on two and a quarter percent of the salary, so we would not know the exact amount on that one.

I am not too clear on that, Mr. Chairman. Is the Minister saying that we have two and a quarter person years designated, not as person years, but as professional training. In Iqaluit, there is a large percentage of students who are in the schools, but we do not have the student teacher ratio and they require more teachers. Is the Minister suggesting that they allow two person years to be sacrificed so that they could use that money to do professional training?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think that Mr. Gargan misunderstood me. I said that the department budgets for $40,000 for professional days, however, in the collective agreement requirement for those principals, it is two and a quarter percent of their salary under the collective agreement. That amount we would not know as a department. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
