Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. In that point, I think I've made my views clear, I hope they will be considered, and I'll leave it at that. My feeling is that the articulation committee is not working and there are good reasons for that. Mr. Chairman, in response to written questions that I asked, I was very pleased to get the Minister's response about the levels of funding which would be available for the environmental technology training program. In the written response he said, referring to the RRTP program at Thebacha Campus and the environmental technology program at Nunatta Campus: "For 1995-96, an estimated $340,000 is allocated to each college to support this program. This includes funding for three positions. As well, college east receives an additional sum as a result of cost differential." I guess that is now Nunavut Arctic College, I should correct myself.
I was quoting from the written response, Mr. Chairman, and I would like to say that I was pleased with this response. Am I correct that sum mentioned in the Minister's return to written question represents an increase in funding over previous years? Thank you.
