Yes, I just want to state for the record under sections 118(1)(d), 118(1)(e), 118(1)(1) and 118(2)(b) where it refers to fees and tuition fees, that the rights of treaty rights and aboriginal rights are respected.

Under section 118(2)(a), where there is reference to the delivery of a teacher education program, I would just like to know who will have the ultimate authority or the responsibility for the teacher education program? Is is the district education council or Arctic College?

Thank you. I can advise the honourable Member that the delivery agent is Aurora College or Nunavut Arctic College, and the initiators of the program are the Minister and the appropriate divisional board.

Just to clarify that. So the responsibility for the program is with the Minister? Who is responsible for the education program? Not who delivers it, but who makes the decisions on the type of program that is delivered? Who makes the decisions on who is hired to deliver it? Who makes the decisions on which students are picked to go into the program?

The responsibility rests with the Aurora College. The Aurora College is involved in the determination of the students, along with the board, because there are certain standard entrance requirements that have to be met. But generally that is the approach and the method by which it is operated.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On 118(k), in addition to the school program, develop and deliver early childhood development, adult education, cultural, religious or other programs to enhance learning and charge fees for the programs; Mr. Chairman, I don't understand, because this government took over education from the federal government that was geared towards aboriginal education. I want to know why we would want to charge fees to teach cultural programs?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is a power, and it enables the divisions or the education authority to exercise the power if they so choose. There may be some limitations on the exercising of that power, but that power is defined based on the regulatory authority that is defined.
