Mr. Chairman, I understand there are plans being made for management and training requirements for Nunavut. Could the Minister indicate whether he sees the college as the delivery system for these training requirements and whether the college has been involved in discussions with the federal government about how the training requirements for the new public servants can be met?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I can indicate to the Member, yes, we are in fact involved. I think that Arctic College, both in Nunavut and in Denendeh, can play a significant role in providing the training and programs necessary for individuals to meet these new challenges.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. What is the status of the Atii program? Is it something that the college is still participating in? Is Atii still active? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, I wonder if the Minister would have any comments on the rather strong observations of the Standing Committee on Finance that this government is the only one in the country which does not have a management training program tailored to its own civil service. I know there is a public service career training activity in the budget which we are now reviewing. Would the Minister agree we can do much better to provide coordinated training for our civil service? Does the Minister agree there should be an overall strategy developed with the Department of Personnel?

Does that mean, Mr. Chairman, this is going to be an element in the education strategy being developed by the Minister?
