Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, over the past few days I have been trying to get some information from the Minister of Education on the librarian's position. In the Department of Education's capital standards, regional librarians are described as having a specific purpose. They are established to support a specific designated region. The standards indicated regional libraries are designed for joint use with the community library. In the past there has been a clearly demonstrated need for the regional library in the Baffin Region. Can the Minister explain why his department has decided that this need no longer exists, and is eliminating the regional librarian position?
