I'll leave this one, Mr. Chairman. I just want to make it clear I do have great faith that the Minister is going to be fair, that's why I'm appealing to him now to start exercising those powers before everything is said and done. I also want to make it clear that I understand that equity doesn't mean equality. I understand that full well. I'm not suggesting that there be a 50 per cent allocation of the resources. But I am suggesting that where there are anomalies that are obvious, now is the time to at least begin to make a move to correct those.

I know that the Fort Smith heavy equipment instructors make journeys to places like Lake Harbour and offer courses. I've heard great compliments to some of those people for the good work that they do. Maybe now is the time to say we're doing a lot of that anyway, maybe we can locate one of those people and keep up the good work. That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. I think that the programs have developed in an ad hoc fashion over the years, and not necessarily with rhyme nor reason.

I'm just saying yes, I understand the full long-range plans are not in place, infrastructure is not in place, but if the Minister could look for these -- at least these apparent anomalies -- and use his good offices with his Cabinet colleagues and with the college board -- and I know they have a major role to play with this, although the Nunavut Arctic College board is still non-existent as I understand it, it's ready to be formed and I appreciate that the Minister has appointed new people to lay the foundation, but they're not in place now so I guess that's why this little, small voice here is saying could you do something now or start doing something now, please. Thank you.
