Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the Minister's answer, but I'm not sure it is clear. His colleague, Mr. Todd, sponsored -- or helped sponsor with Nunavut Tunngavik -- an important conference to plan economic development in Nunavut, which was a great success. Now the education leaders have asked the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment to build on the success of the meeting in Gjoa Haven -- in large measure, due to the active participation of his

officials -- and sponsor and take the lead role in chairing the next meeting. I know the department is working on an internal transition plan for division, in response to the committee's recommendation.

My question is about this conference. Is the Minister prepared to sponsor and take the lead role in this important next meeting, planned for April 1995 in Nunavut? Thank you.
