Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Rabesca on March 22, 1996, regarding funding assistance for building and learning strategy.

Mr. Speaker, the Member for North Slave identified a total of $20,000 as an outstanding claim for 1995-96 building and learning projects in Wha Ti.

For the 1995-96 fiscal year, a building and learning project involving three trainees, and valued at approximately $65,000, was approved for Wha Ti. On December 7, 1995, the Development Corporation submitted an additional project proposal for consideration. On December 15, 1995, the Building and Management Committee informed the Development Corporation that it did not support this proposal. However, in early February 1996, the Development Corporation submitted a claim for $13,100 related to the project contemplated in the December 7th proposal.

I have agreed to meet with the honourable Member for North Slave and community representatives from Wha Ti to discuss this issue. Thank you.
