Mr. Chairman, the Minister has also indicated the arrangements with Arctic College regarding research or studies. I am just wondering...He said that with the Science Institute being part of Arctic College there will be more opportunities for students to do studies. When you refer to students doing studies, are you referring to students doing studies in Arctic College, or are you referring to students who are going to universities in the south and doing studies in the north?

Thank you. Certainly the students in Arctic College should be an important component if they are in a particular field, but that does not rule out using other university students as well. That has been one of the major criticisms about other institutions doing research in the Northwest Territories. They have not been using our students very well. In fact, the kind of research being done often doesn't reflect some of the needs of our communities. They are being done basically as they can find the resources, and it's often that conflict with our communities.

Just one final comment, and the comment is with regard to recommendation 1. "The establishment and the naming of colleges be established in legislation where Members of the Assembly may participate in the process." I would like to ask the Minister whether he intends to act on it or not?

What I intended to do, Mr. Chairman, is to come back to the House with the appropriate motion with the naming of the two new colleges so that Members would have an opportunity to support those two particular names.

So you intend not to change it then, leave it as is. If you look at the bill itself, it would be by regulations you would establish names of the two colleges and you consult the Members about it, and that's it. You don't intend to change the sections.
