Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are a number of issues that I think can obviously be dealt with, in which the institution can play, I think, a more important role. In the area of construction, there has been a great deal of work that has been undertaken in terms of delivering construction programming in our college, in the trades area. The component that's important that has not really been dealt with in terms of utilizing our students is the whole area of teaching them about northern engineering and northern construction technology. The other issue is housing construction. The other matter is social issues and how we address and utilize students in dealing with some of the research that is now being conducted. Much of the research that is being conducted in the Northwest Territories is not done by this government. In fact, it's being done by agents outside, including post-secondary institutions. What we need to do is to utilize our students to be part of that research.

Another component is health issues. It's all nice and well that we have an institution like McGill carrying out health studies on aboriginal people in the north, but the issue is, what are we doing in terms of utilizing our own, now newly-created nursing program to give those students an opportunity to deal with some of the research, even on a summer program? We're not doing that.

There is archaeological work that is being conducted. I guess I can probably point out the chair of the Dogrib Divisional Board of Education, Mr. John B. Zoe, who does a lot of archaeological work in the summer time. In my view, that kind of work is really helpful for us, but we need to do it collectively with our post-secondary institutions, including our educators. That's the kind of stuff that, in my view, needs to be done.

The other thing is, in science technology programming, we're doing very little and we need to improve the programming in our institution. We're beginning to see it in terms of the need, particularly for our land claims negotiations, we have now for a lot of land water management people, people in renewable resource technology and in wildlife. All these are not necessarily part of the programming. So, for scientific research, that's necessary. Water shed management, which Mr. Gargan raised a few minutes ago, that's part of the responsibility of some of the aboriginal organizations now. We just don't have the trained, skilled people in place and we don't have the programming in place to provide that kind of expertise.

I guess I look at it in terms of all these issues and I say I think we need to change our institution around so that it's more responsive.
