Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to make some comments that relate to the Minister's opening statement. I note that on page five, the Minister talks about new directions for the management and delivery of capital projects. I know the Member of Iqaluit has mentioned the success that the Yellowknife Catholic district has had in getting good value for money in its building project.

I would like to encourage this government and the department to very seriously consider block funding or community transfer. I just want the Minister to know that he will have my full support for those kinds of actions because I believe that we'll find that, typically, the school districts can do a better job of managing the projects locally than we can in the government.

I am also heartened to see right under the Minister's comment about that on page 5, that the department is taking a look at better use of existing facilities. It is encouraging to see. I don't know if there will be many young people out there who will be excited about the prospect of longer school days, but I think

the ideas for joint-use and shared facilities are things we really have to work on.

I would encourage the Minister -- and I think this plays right into something else that is happening tomorrow -- to not just to look at partnerships with school boards, Arctic College, museum boards and municipalities, but also with Health and Social Services and Justice.

There is no question that for something like partners for youth, the schools, themselves, don't provide the specialized people to deal with the youth who are at risk. What the schools provide are, perhaps, the coordination and the space. I think if we can get that lead taking place, we can achieve something really useful with young people in schools. The earlier we get into it, the better. We can't wait for high schools to get partners for youth going. We have to try to get that sort of program going in the elementary schools.

I am encouraged to see in the Minister's opening statement that he is willing to take a look at joint use like that, and I hope that includes the Departments of Health and Social Services and Justice. Having said that, I really hope we are going to see the Minister of Education, the Minister of Justice and, especially, the Minister of Health and Social Services at our SCOF meeting tomorrow at 10:30 am. I think there we'll hear how this program, which has been tried in Edmonton, is working.

Like other Members have said, this is just one idea for a program. There may be all sorts of ideas for programs. This is one that works, let's see if we can learn from it. I think the sort of things the Minister has talked about here will become possible if we can have everybody involved. Mr. Chairman, my closing general comments are strong invitations to the Minister of Health and Social Services, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment and their deputy ministers, to attend the SCOF session tomorrow morning.

I think, at that, we will be able to really learn how to take advantage of sharing facilities, as the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment has recommended in his opening statements. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Nunakput, that Bill 6, Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act be read for the third time.
