Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the Minister's explanation and understand that it's a draft document, but still feel that it would help us in understanding what the proposals are.

Perhaps if I could move on, Mr. Chairman.

I have some questions about Arctic College courses. I know I've had some calls from constituents who are concerned that the cost of courses for Arctic College seem to be escalating quite significantly. I understand that money is tight and I understand that the college has been directed to recover more and more of their cost of operation through course fees. What concerns me is that one of the reasons for being for Arctic College was to ensure that people who might not otherwise be able to take advantage of college courses can do so. I think that a lot of people who haven't completed their education nor a lot of experience outside the territories, are uncomfortable moving to southern settings to take on courses and they are sometimes not as successful as they might be in northern ones. I thought that one of the principles that we were supposed to be supporting with Arctic College is ensuring access, in particular to our northern and aboriginal residents who have specific need of upgrading.

It's a bit of a concern to some of my constituents who see the course cost for courses like women in management set at $300 or management courses set at $450 and resolving workplace conflict courses set at $300. I think a lot of the courses that the college offers are, in fact, aimed at northern and aboriginal residents to help them improve their skills so that they can progress, in particular, to middle and senior levels of management within this government. Unless they are already working for the government, many of them would have to cover the cost of these courses on their own. I recognize that if they're already employed by the government, the cost of tuition may be picked up by the employer. I think there has to be a fine line that we walk here between maximizing revenue and ensuring that courses that might help people to progress are kept at a reasonable cost. I wonder if the Minister would care to comment on how the department reviews the setting of fees for Arctic College to ensure that we are enabling our northern and aboriginal residents to participate in college courses.
