Mr. Dent.

Final supplementary, Mr. Picco.

Mr. Speaker, I am not against the decentralization of programs, as I have said in this House many times. I am saying if the cost is prohibited, as the Minister said, I am trying to find out what the costs are. We all know if there are adult students living in a residence, it is going to cost money to feed these people. That would be a cost in the transfer. If the program is offered in a different location now, those costs would have to be factored in. That is why my question is about the cost of the food, the other things that I talked about, et cetera. I understand student support, but the whole point of this transfer is that it wouldn't cost the college any extra money out of its base funds. The Minister just told me it wouldn't come out of base funds, it would come out of other money. If it is coming out of the other funds, there is only X number of dollars for student support, so where are those dollars and how much are they in the cost analysis. If it isn't there, where are they? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Dent.

Item 7, oral questions. Mr. Ningark.

The Minister of Finance.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do recognize the importance of the cooperative movement across the Territories and the significant contribution it makes to employment and services in our communities. I'm prepared to sit down with my honourable colleague, Mr. Kakfwi, and see if there is anything we can do with this important initiative that seems to have come to a grinding halt. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 7, oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Ningark.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary to the same Minister. How soon will the honourable Minister talk with his colleague from Economic Development?

Mr. Todd.

As we speak, Mr. Speaker, as we speak. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 7, oral questions. Mr. Miltenberger.

The Minister responsible for Safety and Public Services, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the Parliament of Canada there is a private Member's bill before the House that is going to go before a standing committee next week. There is a hearing in Ottawa on May the 9th that we are invited to. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend because of prior commitments. I have asked my honourable colleague, Mr. Floyd Roland, to attend this hearing on my behalf, along with the staff of Safety and

Public Services, to deliver a presentation to this subcommittee. Mr. Speaker, we are the only jurisdiction in Canada that puts health warning labels on alcohol containers. We do that out of our own pocket. The private Member's bill is to try to get the manufacturers of alcohol to put the labels on the containers themselves.

Yes, I'm a strong supporter of this initiative and the message that my honourable colleague delivers to the subcommittee will indicate that we are in strong support of the private Member's bill. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 7, oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Miltenberger.

Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am told by officials of the Department of Safety and Public Services that there is a strong lobby in process that is opposed to the private Member's bill by the liquor industry. It seems that the federal Minister responsible for that portfolio is wavering on his support for this private Member's bill. It's going to be a very big initiative for us to go to Ottawa and make the presentation in support of the liquor warning labels being funded by the liquor industry rather than by the different governments in the different jurisdictions such as we are doing here. Thank you.

Supplementary, Mr. Miltenberger.
