Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a concern with respect to the budget that I knew was a prior year cost but nothing as yet has been done on that. Either it's a lapse or they are getting quotes on it right now, but I don't believe that changing the rug and painting the walls is $220,000, so it cannot be that one. In that case, it's not been done yet.
Mr. Chairman, I had an understanding from my conversations with the community education council on the Arctic College in Coral Harbour, regarding the community learning centres, that there was a deal or an agreement -- a gentlemen's agreement -- struck between the senior officials of different departments. I believe that Mr. Kaulbach from DPW was there; Eric Colbourne, assistant deputy minister of Education; Fraser Hope, director of Keewatin divisional board; Sandy Kusugak, as vice-chairman of Keewatin; the chairman and the whole CEC board council of Coral Harbour, met in May and made an agreement that there would be -- according to the letter from the chairman of the CEC -- a stand-alone school, or Arctic College, built.
But seeing that there is renovation for the community learning centre in Coral Harbour, it's a change without any noticeable adjustment from the regional agreement that the senior officials had with the CEC and the Arctic College.
So what I'm concerned about mostly is why the agreement or some kind of arrangement with those senior officials of the CEC and Arctic College have not been honoured; why there's a change without CEC knowing that this has now been changed to the old school east wing with a renovation rather than constructing a stand-alone learning centre as originally planned. With that, Mr. Chairman, I want to make a motion. I seek support of my colleagues, in support of that regional agreement that was made between CEC and officials of the departments, different departments, in fact. Qujannamiik.
