Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education and it has to do with education at the Lester B Pearson College out of Victoria, BC. Over the number of years since this college started, the Northwest Territories has been sending students down there and as a result of that we have a lot of people who have gone through the program there, come back home and contributed to the society here in the north with their leadership abilities. We still have people down there in this college. I would like to ask the Minister of Education if his department has cut the funding for the support that this government has been giving to this college. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In fact, the House has approved the reduction in that support in the 1994-95 budget year. We would maintain those students who were there, but we would have to re-evaluate our participation role in that particular institution. So we have not cut all of it, but we have the approval of the Legislature to reduce our participation in that particular funding arrangement.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are students down there from my constituency who have received letters from the Minister indicating that their funding will be totally cut off, and the Minister just indicated that there is still some support. I would like to ask the Minister, historically, what type of support has this government given to this program in the past? Thank you.
