This is something that interests me. In a community such as Inuvik, there seems to be a proliferation of libraries and resource centres. There is Arctic College, a science centre, two schools, a community library, Delta House has a resource centre and Education, Culture and Employment has a resource centre. To me, it would make sense to have an evaluation of these to look at amalgamating resources. Again, it is all government-funded.

I know there is a project for a library in Inuvik and I appreciate that, but we provide a lot of the same services to the same clients, and Inuvik being a regional centre, we are providing service to the communities. To me, it makes sense to make an evaluation. We also have to move on that because I'm aware of studies looking at other facilities like Grollier Hall, for example. We also have to look at the schools, because of grade extensions and impacts on schools and the tremendous growth of Arctic College in terms of its classroom needs. We already know it is too small right now. There is a lot of work to do.

I know the department is considering it, but my concern is the coordination of all of this in the community of Inuvik. Whatever happens in Inuvik has tremendous impact on all the communities. I just wanted to state my concerns. I hope the department will take them into consideration in the work they are doing. Mahsi.
