I would like to ask the Minister if he is working on amending the Education Act in regards to where Holman Island is situated in the Education Act at this time.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, if memory serves me right this is not an issue related specifically to the Education Act. It would be one of policy and regulation, which would discuss how services are being delivered in Holman. That could be changed. A regulation could be changed fairly readily. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the difference between the legislation versus the
Act. I wonder if the Minister could indicate that he is considering or will be considering relocating Holman in the education legislation in the future?

Thank you. I think this area also covers the government's structure, so I believe Mr. Steen is in the right area of questioning the Minister. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Changes such as this can be initiated by the community through petition to the Minister. In a case where there is obvious interest to have a community moved to another education council, we could certainly start work with the other education council to see what we can do about accommodating the wishes of the community.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is the Minister suggesting then the community of Holman, which is now listed in the Kitikmeot region, would have a choice of where they want to be located after 1999?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Pursuant to the Education Act, the community may file a petition at any time and it would probably make more sense for them to consider doing that before April 1, 1999, rather than waiting until close to the date of division in order to make sure we have everything settled well in advance of April 1, 1999. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, just for clarification, can the community of Holman be listed in Nunavut legislation?
