Mr. Chairman, it has been a long time since I've been in Cabinet and I have probably forgotten everything I knew, but it seems to me, from what I know of the process, that when legislation is passed and when the Minister goes to the Financial Management Board to set up the new budgets for the two new college administrations, there will be a transfer of funds from NWT Arctic College to Nunavut Arctic College and the western Arctic College, or whatever it is going to be named.

There will be two new budgets from one. I guess what I'm asking the Minister is, in setting up these new budgets, would he undertake -- recognizing that the long range corporate plans are not in place and recognizing that the infrastructure is not in place -- nonetheless to see if he could address the issue of equity in establishing those new budgets? Or, at least begin to address the issue of equity?

I think it is going to be easier to do it when you are dividing up the pie, rather than afterwards. I think it is going to be a lot easier to do it that way. With respect, I think the Minister may not have a magic wand, but he has some authority because he is going to be recommending those base budgets to the Financial Management Board. I just want to ensure there is some fairness when that is started up. Thank you.
