Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I agree that it is not the facilities that are important, it is creating training opportunities using what is already in place. I would like to ask the Minister...And I believe the Minister has power under the appropriate legislation to provide not only leadership but, if necessary, direction to the college boards flowing from advice given by this Assembly and by Nunavut education leaders and others who have a stake in education.

I would like to ask the Minister if he is prepared to initiate discussions with the college boards to take steps to meet what I understand is a clear priority of the Nunavut Arctic College board -- and I know the new board has only met once, but they have already written the Minister and said trades is a priority, understand -- is the Minister prepared to provide leadership, get the boards together and look for constructive solutions?

I don't care whether PYs and dollars are transferred or seconded, whatever the device is, but I would like to see trades training starting closer to home, in Nunavut. Now that we have a separate college and now that the Thebacha College no longer has the mandate to serve the whole Northwest Territories. And I suspect, as the heavy equipment program has done in taking the program to the people, the good people at Thebacha College and in the Aurora board would be open to making those person years available to students in Nunavut who want to take their training closer to home. Will the Minister initiate meetings towards that end? Thank you.
