Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I didn't provide the direction for this transfer; this direction came from the representative board of governors who represent the people of Nunavut. The decision to relocate these kinds of programs implies that that board has a strong commitment to upgrade the facilities in the campuses in Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay. If they fail to do that, then I think they put at risk the credibility of Nunavut Arctic College for all of the residents of Nunavut. I am confident that the board has examined which programs can successfully be relocated and that they have very strong reason to believe that they will be able to offer the programs successfully in the locations that they have recommended that they be transferred to. Mr. Speaker, it wasn't my recommendation or my direction, I'm responding to the direction of a public board and I have every confidence that they have made the right decision.
