Jeannie Marie-Jewell Thebacha

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment a question about the budget commitments of Aurora College. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow night there will be a public meeting in

Fort Smith to discuss the proposed new recreation complex. In the pamphlet that has been circulated by the community, it appears that $400,000 will be allocated from Aurora College's budget. Many of my constituents asked me whether or not Aurora College is, indeed, granting $400,000 towards the town's recreation complex, and I indicated to them that I would ask the Minister because nothing had appeared in the budget books.

I would like to ask the Minister if he can indicate to this House whether or not $400,000 has been committed from the Aurora's College's budget for the new Fort Smith recreation complex. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There has been no formal commitment of $400,000 to the project, Mr. Speaker. In fact, in order for us to even consider it, there would have to be discussions and there hasn't been any discussions to date between the two parties, either Aurora College, the municipality or an agent on behalf of the community. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That probably helps my constituents somewhat. The Minister stated that there have been no discussions between the two parties. Is he aware of a possible request to the board of governors of Arctic College for this funding? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I can only advise the honourable Member that this particular matter was raised with me, but not in the context of supporting the initiative. They only said they would like to talk about it at some time. I can advise the honourable Member that there have been no discussions with the staff or president of Aurora College on this issue and there is no submission requesting the resources from the board of governors of Aurora College.
