Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The program delivery cost reductions, college programs expenditures, are being reduced by $2.050 million. The reduction will occur over a two year period, 1992-93, so as to minimize the impact.

Mr. Chairman, I believe the reduction is with regard to a directive from the Executive, to reduce their budget, and they are making that effort. Mr. Chairman, I do not know whether, or not, this means that some programs have to be eliminated in order to meet that target reduction. I am interested in finding out if computers are going to be dropped, or if something else is going to be dropped, in order to accommodate that reduction.

Mr. Chairman, I had the right reductions, but the wrong program. The Journalism Program has been eliminated, and the housing maintainer in Iqaluit has been eliminated, as well as the arts. This one is by about $50,000. Mr. Chairman, I am not getting the right figures here, I will have Mr. Cleveland answer that.

Mr. Chairman, the Journalism Program, as the Minister indicated, was eliminated. That program has not been in place for two years. Secondly, the Housing Maintainer Program, that we delivered in Iqaluit, was eliminated, and we now have all of the students attending the program in Fort Smith. As well, there were several reductions in instructional positions, where the assignment for teaching students was reassigned, for example, in the case at the Thebacha campus, where we had an academic upgrading instructor in the trades program, we simply re-assigned the responsibility to the academic upgrading program itself. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Why are there no revenues shown under this activity? I am aware that many of the courses offered by Arctic College are third party contracts, or third party agreements. There are no revenues on page 18-15.

Just for the purpose of most committee Members, and most Members of the Assembly, that particular item comes under either information items, or detail of work performed on behalf of third parties, and revenues and recoveries that we will deal with. Mr. Minister.

Mr. Chairman, this is under page 18-21. The revenue contribution contracts revenue. These figures will change because of the projected revenues.

In terms of 1992-93 proposed budget, why are the proposed estimates for contract revenues so low, compared to the revised budget for 1991-92? You have over $4.8 million, you are projecting six hundred. I notice that it is the same trend in the prior year. Again, I question your crystal ball.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is straight from the hat, it changes, because it is very hard to tell who is going to require a program next year, forestry, or anyone that would like to buy the Arctic College programs. We do not know who they are, so we use the six hundred as the holding figure.
