I'll ask Mr. Kaulbach to be more specific about what it is that we didn't include in the project.

I do want to say that we cut out program needs by 17 per cent from the original concept that was proposed.

Mr. Minister, are you asking Mr. Kaulbach to answer? Mr. Kaulbach.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The areas of the program cuts that were looked at were the areas of the existing building where we had anticipated to move over. Social Services, I believe, was one of the areas that we cut and rapography was another area that was looked at. The general intent is to streamline the original program to within our available funds. Thank you.

Qujannamiik. Fort Smith, total region, $3.863 million. Mr. Dent.

I believe the question is directed to the Minister, through Mr. Kaulbach.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A few trailers will be left in the campus facility for continued use.

Fort Smith, total region. Mr. Gargan.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, under the community learning centre in Fort Providence, I understand that the actual building would be constructed in 1997-98. I've talked to the Minister and I've also invited him to come to my community to look at the building itself but I've also been in Hay River and seen the adult education centre there. Last year, my daughter was going to school there and one thing I've noticed is that one whole section of that education centre is empty. It's not being used. It's under-utilized. The only point I'm trying to make is that in Fort Providence itself, it's over-utilized, it's overcrowded. For that reason, Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion.

Thank you, Mr. Gargan. Proceed, Mr. Gargan, with the motion.

Mr. Chairman, I move that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment consider making every effort to advance funding to renovate and add to the existing community learning centre in Fort Providence, to the fiscal year 1995-96.

Thank you, Mr. Gargan. The motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Gargan.

Just to tell the rest of the Members that I wouldn't make this an issue if I didn't feel that it was. I think, in this case, the community learning centre has been overcrowded for at least a couple of years that I've gone into the building. There isn't as much storage space as there should be. Most of the storage is kept in boxes and left by the porch or by the stairway. The bathrooms are two steps high. If you're going to go to the bathroom, you have to go up two steps high and these are where a lot of the books and boxes are stored because there just isn't room. Like I've said already to the Members, they have computers and there aren't sufficient plugs so they use an adaptor with the plug-ins. To allow for the amount of plug-ins you need an adaptor to avoid fluctuations. Those are the kinds of things and the conditions that the adults are working under while going to school there.

I know there's some money earmarked for renovations of the main school itself but I really feel that, in this case, there is an urgency to try and address the issue.

Thank you. To the motion. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand the concern the honourable Member has raised. I just want to advise the honourable Member and Members of the Assembly that one of the things that we were trying to do is to not create a situation where there is separate learning institution. Deh Ga was the proposal that we were considering as a combination of both; that we would put the buildings basically together. We could take the addition and we would add it to the school. That was the way in which we were looking at this proposal, so that the available facility and the resources available to those in the adult programming would be greater. However, I understand the comments and the motion. I'm not sure how we're going to deal with it but I just want you to be aware of that.

Thank you. To the motion.

Thank you. Inuvik, total region, $150,000. Mr. Ng.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister, the Arctic College strategic plan has been finalized, I understand, or he can clarify if it hasn't. I know it's under discussion and is supposed to be adopted in the very immediate future if it hasn't already, and in that plan they're going to try to identify programming needs in both the east and west. In recognizing that, are there going to be some costs -- some capital costs -- associated with setting up programming, especially in some of the regions like the Kitikmeot where there are no current facilities, or very limited facilities -- with Arctic College beside the adult education facilities that have been put

in there. I would like to ask the Minister, if that is the case, how his department will be dealing with the Arctic College strategic plan and I would also like to ask what the status of it is at this time?

Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The document is in draft, it has been received by the Arctic College board and will be sent to me and, therefore, my department, for review in terms of the report itself and the whole matter of investment in the future. That's where it's at, at this particular juncture.
