How is maintenance done, under what category? Is it done by private sector companies?

Okay, what about Arctic College, is it the same? I missed it, I am sorry, but who does the maintenance for Arctic College?

Well, normally we would not allow that to occur here, but if the Minister has the answer on the tip of his tongue, it will not be a problem. Mr. Minister.

Mr. Chairman, D.P.W. also does it for Arctic College, but there is a charge back on that one, unlike the divisional boards.

I assume, then, there has been cost benefit analysis done and the ability of Public Works to do these reasonably and economically, as compared to private sector?

Mr. Chairman, the government directs the Department of Government Services and Public Works, to carry out this function for the college. The Department of Government Services and Public Works may contract the maintenance work out, which is performed on behalf of the college. Thank you.

It is not a question, I guess, but these things should be looked at very closely to privatize those type of work, for maintenance work to companies that are eligible, ready, and willing to do that type of work. Thank you.

Getting back to loans, if I may. Do you have a list of the loans written off, and loans forgiven?
