Mr. Chairman, I'm very interested in the Minister's response. I guess I would like to respectfully suggest to him, isn't the best time to look at the equity issue when you're looking at the budgets? If you split the budgets first and look at the equity issue later, you have to claw back resources that may not be appropriately divided. As you pointed out, there may be a program in Nunatta that should also be offered in another location.

I would suggest that the logical time to deal with the equity issue is before you split the budgets, so the budgets are established on a fair basis. Rather than split them, assume there is an equitable allocation now and then try to fix it up

later when you have two colleges up and running. That would seem to be a much more difficult task. Thank you.
