Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee strongly recommends that the Department of Education consider implementing, for the 1993-94 fiscal year, a funding schedule that would provide two divisional boards of education annual lump sum contributions.

Mr. Chairman, I believe that during the last year, there was some concern by divisional boards, and Members have been receiving letters from divisional boards on their contributions that they have been getting prior to getting the contributions being made on a monthly basis. One of the justifications is that with the additional monies that they get through interest, they have been able to provide Special Needs Program, and maybe additional programs that otherwise would not be implemented.
This year, with the program on a monthly contribution, divisional boards have now had to eliminate some of those programs because they do not have those extra monies to do it, and that is basically the reason I wanted the government to consider giving them annual contribution.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A couple of years ago, the college Board of Directors approved, and developed, a five year strategic plan for 1990-1995. My question is, what is the status of this plan? Has it been accepted by the department? Has it been implemented?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe the strategy, itself, was tabled in the House. Arctic College did not receive, from the department, an official response on the plan until just this summer. The department indicated that we believed that there was further work to be done, in order that there be an implementation plan attached to the strategic plan itself, and my understanding is that Arctic College is taking the advice of the department, and considering further work on the plan. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Arctic College, in the other board, is given a contribution, and person years do not show up in the contribution. They look after their own bookkeeping on that one.

Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Minister, what is the progress being made in respect to the decentralization of Arctic College headquarters? Before he answers, I also want, at the same time, to commend the Department of Education, and the Cabinet, for making a decision that will be most effective for the students attending the college programs.
