I will clarify for the honourable Member that Ivalu has taken the initiative on their own, without any additional resources, to find a space in the CNE and to find

sales. That's what it's all about. It's not being driven by the minister or the department. It's being driven by an independent subsidiary of the NWT Development Corporation. The group of artists in Pangnirtung, who have been in business a lot longer than Ivalu and others, should do exactly the same thing. There are no additional funds available to assist, except for what I outlined in my earlier statement to Mr. Patterson regarding ITC. Thank you.

Thank you. Supplementary, Ms. Mike.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wasn't asking about additional resources. I'm talking about finished resources we have in stock that this government can display and maybe make an attempt to sell at this exhibit. Will that be happening through the NWT Development Corporation?

Mr. Todd.

I'm not aware at this time, and I'll have to look into it, whether the NWT Development Corporation is going to have a booth in Toronto. I'm not sure, I'll have to check with the chairman of the board who is in town right now. If I may, Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that ITC has asked us for some assistance to enhance arts and crafts from the eastern Arctic. It may be appropriate that the group from Pangnirtung contact them to see, in fact, if they can work out a coordinated approach to display the lovely tapestries out of Pangnirtung that we saw last night at the NWT Development Corporation's reception. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. Mr. Patterson.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. I would like to congratulate the Minister on the two wonderful names for the new colleges, Nunavut Arctic College and Aurora College. I think they're a considerable improvement over college east and college west. I'm curious about one thing, though, Mr. Speaker. I believe that the Inuvik campus of the new Aurora College was called the Aurora Campus. I would like to ask the Minister, will the Inuvik campus of Aurora College continue to be called Aurora Campus? Or is it possible that a new name will be selected for that campus? Thank you.

Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you. Premier Cournoyea campus might sound better.

Hear, hear.

---Laughter

Mr. Speaker, on a more serious note, it is certainly our intention to find another name for that campus. I think there are other names that could be identified, for example, that could be associated to individuals who have contributed either to this Assembly, the public service of that community or that region. Or, for that matter, it could be an aboriginal name. We need to consider a new name for that campus.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. Mr. Patterson.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Housing. Mr. Speaker, the Minister made a statement the other day about the implementation of the new rent scale. I think it will take effect a few days from now on April 1st. I think his statement was that things were going relatively well but there is one concern that I would like to ask the Minister about that has arisen in my constituency. And that is, when you have a number of people responsible for paying rent in a household with, let's say, four incomes, has the Minister determined what will happen if, say, one of those individuals does not pay rent? Thank you.

Minister of Housing, Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The new rent scale was developed on the basis of trust, trust with our tenants, and people are obliged to pay rent to the best of their ability. In situations which arise where some members of a household do not pay rent, that person will be counselled by the housing authority, they will try to work out the problem and get them to pay rent. If everything fails, then it will go to the rental officer. Thank you.

Supplementary, Mr. Patterson.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, I think we all would hope everyone would pay their rent. I would like to ask the Minister, for these households where there are several incomes, has the corporation figured out how the tenancy agreement should be structured? Is it the three, four or five people who earn incomes who will sign and be named in the tenancy agreement? Will the tenancy agreement include an elder who may be exempt from paying rent? Have the details of how the tenancy agreements will be drawn up been worked out by the corporation? Thank you.

Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's my understanding that this has been worked out. They are working with the local housing authorities to implement the new rent scale and the tenant agreements so all people in the unit who are working are part of the agreement for that unit. Thank you.

Supplementary, Mr. Patterson.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I certainly accept that every measure, short of eviction proceedings, should and will be followed. But, I would like to ask the Minister, if all reasonable measures fail and there isn't the kind of cooperation we would hope to have in every situation and a single person in a household refuses to pay rent -- and as the Minister said, it'll be referred to the rental officer -- is it the corporation's position that if one person in a household refuses to pay rent that the whole household be evicted for non-payment? Thank you.

Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Absolutely not.
