Thank you, Madam Speaker. So that everyone is clear in the House, we have not made our final decisions to close those residences down. We have a study that is now happening. We have a contractor who has gone to speak to the Baffin Divisional Board of Education to get their advice to review whether or not there's an ongoing need for the residences. The other issue is whether or not high school programs are increasing in the various communities and to what extent. The honourable Member for Iqaluit, for instance, raised the whole point about academic programming and whether or not those are available in the communities. That is going to be determined in the assessment. If there is an ongoing need for the residents to meet the needs of academic students, obviously that has to be considered.

The other point that was made by the honourable Member for Iqaluit -- and I noted it when I was in Iqaluit -- was the increased number of students who want to attend Arctic College in Iqaluit. The problem is there are no residences at the moment and no place for those students to stay. That is a concern that we all have to address. It is not only a concern in the Nunavut communities, but a concern we have to address in the west as well. Our first commitment, in terms of improving Arctic College, is to the Kitikmeot.
