So, if you are on the Standing Committee on Finance, then you do have a problem with regard to the way you direct the budget. Mr. Chairman, I say this for one reason. I will address it at the appropriate time.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The committee is aware of a number of pressures that will increase the need for access to college programs across the territories. These include land claims implementation, emphasis on affirmative action and preparation for Nunavut. Members noted that there are great demands for student housing, particularly married student housing. These needs are not addressed in the capital plan. The committee believes that people are missing opportunities to achieve higher levels of education due to the serious shortfall of housing for students. Members recommend that the option of leasing housing and other alternative arrangements be considered by the government to meet the identified need.
The committee did not feel that the capital forecast and five year plans under review address the pressures and expectations regarding training for adults. Further, the committee has not seen a long-range plan for Arctic College that addresses these concerns. Therefore, the committee makes the following recommendation to the department.

Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment put forward a long range plan for Arctic College which clearly identifies future demands for college programs. These demands should be used to identify facility requirements and incorporated into the department's overall capital planning strategy.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Following its review of the 1993-94 capital estimates, the committee recommended that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment Programs develop a policy covering museums, churches and other historical buildings to ensure consistency, fairness and equity in the application of standards and criteria for such infrastructure between communities. Further, the committee recommended that specific projects be deferred pending completion of the policy. When the Minister appeared before the committee for the review of 1994-95 Capital Estimates, he said that he would provide revised copies of the policies that respond to this recommendation. Committee members understand, after much urging, that these policies have been approved by Cabinet. I note, Mr. Chairman, for the record, that they have been tabled in this House already.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That concludes the opening remarks from the Standing Committee on Finance.
