Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The college board of governors has a responsibility for recommending where the programs would be offered. Both the College East and West have a responsibility to try and ensure that as many programs as possible are offered in the communities. I can't, at this point in time, commit to the Member that the college will move base-funded programs into Arviat or Baker Lake. However, I do think that the college board of governors will continue to take a look at the demands for training that the residents of Nunavut place on the college and will do their best, given the fiscal resources available to them, to make sure that training opportunities are made available as broadly across Nunavut as possible. For me to predict that they will be able to move programs within the next couple of years, I can't promise that. I can promise that the board will certainly consider the Member's request. I think all Members of this House would hope that we would be able to see adult training courses throughout the Territories in all of the communities. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
