Mr. Speaker, while we're on the subject of Arctic College transfers from the East, I understand that the ultimate decision for this move does lie with the Minister. Could the Minister please answer that?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess I'm still concerned and I'm somewhat confused as to what the cost factor of this may be. Could the Minister clarify that for me?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated to the Member for Iqaluit, the costs are to be explained to my office in detail by March 31st of this year. Until that time, I don't have a detailed cost breakdown or how the college intends to cover those costs.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the conditions that I have asked the board of governors to provide my office by March 31st was a breakdown of all person years and funding that would be transferred. So it will be subsequent to that date that I will be able to properly answer that question.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Absolutely. The intention is to ensure that all staff are treated as valuable employees, which they are. Those who are not willing to transfer, every attempt will be made to find other positions for them within the college. I am informed that Nunatta Campus is seen as having tremendous potential for third-party funding for programs and it is not expected that classrooms will go empty as a result of this transfer. So there is a fairly good possibility that people will still continue to find jobs at Nunatta Campus.
