Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The NWT Liquor Commission and the Liquor Board make revenue every year from the sale of alcohol in the North. From there, they have a revolving fund from the sale of the liquor products of about $9 million a year. Then on top of that, they have a profit of $15 million that goes back into the general coffers of the Northwest Territories. The sale of liquor revolves back into the whole NWT Liquor Commission as well as the Liquor Board. In that way, it's hard to tell whether the government is subsidizing the distribution of alcohol. I think it's self-funded, more than government subsidized. Thank you.

Thank you. Supplementary, Ms. Groenewegen.

Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's a very detailed question. I'll have to take it as notice and get back to the Member. Thank you.

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

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

Thank you. Supplementary, Mr. Roland.

Mr. Dent.

Item 6, oral questions. Are there any further oral questions? Item 7, written questions. Item 8, petitions. Mr. Picco.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition dealing with the matter of the relocation of programs from Nunatta Campus. Mr. Speaker, Petition No. 1 contains 140 signatures. Mr. Speaker, the petitioners request the following: "We, the undersigned citizens of the Baffin region, disagree with the process by which decisions have been made to move the departments from Nunatta Campus of Nunavut Arctic College to other campuses. We encourage the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories to review the process and reconsider the decision of the relocation. We believe these decisions will place undue stress on the financial, human, and program resources of Nunavut Arctic College as a whole. This negative stress will have a significant impact on students, faculty, and the communities of Nunavut and will be counterproductive to the establishment of a representative government."

Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Canadian Federation of Students issued a press release supporting the actions of the students in Iqaluit. This body represents over 400,000 students in 65 universities and colleges throughout Canada. Mr. Speaker, the federation points out in its news release that transferring students 1,170 kilometres southwest of Iqaluit to Rankin, or 1,690 kilometres northwest to Cambridge Bay is unacceptable. Mr. Speaker, this is not the type of publicity that the GNWT needs in southern Canada or elsewhere. Mr. Speaker, I will be asking further questions on this issue over this session. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. Item 8, petitions. Item 9, reports of standing and special committees. Item 10, tabling of documents.
