Mr. Speaker, again, very clearly I do not know what mandate they should have. That is the nature of the review which was to take place. If I am going to ask Arctic College to assume responsibility in the area of research and science technology programming, then my question is, what is the role of the Science Institute of the Northwest Territories? It is important that we try to figure out the relationship. If we do not figure out that relationship then what is the nature of two colleges in the Northwest Territories, two Science Institutes of the Northwest Territories with no relationship at all? Even the Special Committee on Education in 1981 came back with a recommendation of, in fact, trying to put together that relationship. It is only now occurring, some 12 years later. We are trying to respond to an initiative and, in fact, a recommendation that was made.
I think there is a change in the relationship. The honourable Member should realize the Science Institute only advises on matters of research. They do not, and have not, participated in actual research. They have contracted other organizations to do the research work. It is my view that surely we can recognize the need to utilize the institutions of the Northwest Territories to assume responsibility in that area. I do not know in the end what the solution is going to be. That is why I have asked this working group to sit down and advise me. I need the advice of people who have the expertise in this area. They have, in fact, refused to participate in advising me.
