Maybe I should ask, Mr. Chairman, would Mr. Antoine like to have it for the whole school board, or for just his area of school boards?

Yes, just looking at the figures, my particular constituency seems to be one of the low ones, so I just wanted to know if we are getting our fair share of money for my constituency? So, it would be good if I could see how much the other areas are getting funded for in comparison to mine. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On this page, note one says the above information has not been finalized by the board. What does that mean?

Mr. Chairman, at the time this information page was being developed, the boards had not yet seen the information, and we do provide the boards with the information, and have them review it prior to finalizing the numbers. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Does this mean, then, that these figures could change with consultations with the boards? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, yes, but very little though, because there will probably be some very minor details that will make them change. These are in the formula, they are not really negotiated but they have a formula funding criteria that they come under, and some of the details of some have been missing. For example, one house burned down that we did not know anything about, and that would make a minor change.

I noted, in the description, that these contribution agreements provide funding for direct costs of support services. The same question goes for Arctic College. The cost for the Department of Public Works, are they direct costs for maintenance and utilities? What direct costs are in here?

Mr. Chairman, the funding under Public Works is for leases of offices and utility costs. It is the amount budgeted for divisional boards with the exception of the Baffin, which is not under a charge back agreement with the government. Thank you.

So, none of the maintenance costs, by Department of Public Works employees, are in this category?
