Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand that the request for proposals for training courses for Baker Lake closed on February 8 and we were expecting to hear about who got the award. I was wondering if the Minister can advise us who has been awarded the contract to develop the courses?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This was in relation to the curriculum development, I believe. It was Arctic College in conjunction with Avery, Cooper and Company, the Yellowknife firm.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question in relation to the cost of Inuvialuit participation in the committees of $125,000. Being a Member of the Standing Committee on Finance, I have some information on it. It was reviewed earlier today. In 1988-89, the Cabinet directed the Department of Renewable Resources to finance the Inuvialuit participation on these committees. That was in 1988. It was supposed to be temporary until the federal government assumed the responsibilities for financing this. It has been ongoing now for five years. What is the status of it becoming funded by the federal government instead of our government?

Mr. Chairman, the problem still hasn't been resolved, but the department is bringing an options paper to Cabinet in the next two weeks on how to resolve this
particular issue that has been going on for several years now. The department is responding and bringing forward an options paper. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Is this options paper to have the federal government assume these responsibilities or will it be that our government will take on the ongoing responsibilities for this? Thank you.

I don't know the number of options that the department will suggest to us and I really don't know what Cabinet will decide. So, I can't prejudge the options paper or Cabinet, not having seen the paper. I'll have to say that, unless Mr. Kakfwi has more to add, I wait with bated breath for their options paper, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
