Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the situation right now that we are all faced with is with regard to the financial resources that will be available in the future for any of our government's institutions. I point this out not to indicate that this government is not committed to

developing Aurora College or Nunavut Arctic College, but rather there is a need for us to assess the programs and services that we are providing in Aurora College. Also in the campuses that we have established and the programs that we are now offering, there are other components to financing our programs.

I can advise the honourable Member, we have to determine whether or not social assistance can be a proactive program that is used, for instance, for post-secondary education. The aboriginal groups that have signed final agreements for claims have a number of dollars identified for training, education in post-secondary institutions. The question we then have to ask ourselves is how do we get the confidence of these organizations so that they can become partners in the delivery of post-secondary programs.

Some of these organizations -- as in the experience that we have had with the Gwich'in -- have allowed us to be partners in the development of programs and also the aboriginal organizations have provided resources.

The other component is third party funding; programs that we run on behalf of other organizations or other governments. All these are factors on how we deliver programs, Mr. Speaker. They have to be reviewed and we have to provide the information and the advice that is necessary to spend these resources.
