Thank you. Good counting, Mr. Ningark. My supplementary question is to the same Minister concerning the same area. I am just wondering when that plan he just spoke about would be coming forward. Would it be in May or would it be in the October session or will there be a briefing paper sent to the Members to inform us? I am wondering when he thinks the plan will be available for review by this House? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have to say I cannot answer that question today. I will discuss with my Cabinet colleagues what the timetable is for everybody. We are, I believe, all planning on coming forward through the Division Committee into this House in the same timeframe. I do know that we are planning to get significant resources into this in the next couple of weeks. As to when we will be able to report, I cannot say right now.

Mr. Chairman, my question is in regards to cultural and careers in regards to the Arctic college facility. Exactly what is the $100,000 supposed to cover in the budget?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I missed the first part of the Member's question. Was he referring to page 9-18, the capital funds for the Aurora Campus facility in Inuvik?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Those would be planning funds. We are expecting to have more significant capital dollars there in future years, to either replace the Father Ryan building or to convert Grollier Hall into a campus building, depending on which works out to be the most cost effective method of providing campus facilities. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Specific item. Mr. Krutko. The specific item he is referring to is on page 9-18, Aurora Campus facility, Inuvik. We are on page 9-17, culture and careers. Mr. Krutko. Mr. Krutko, could you please stick to the item under review, culture and careers? The line of questioning that he is doing now is under 9-18. This is detail capital, culture and careers. We are on page 9-17. I would remind Members to try and stick to the page we are in fact considering. Mr. Krutko.

Mr. Chairman, my question to the Minister is, in regards to the planning functions that this government takes, do they take into account the concerns of the regional educational authorities in regards to where they see all these planning functions going? What role do they play in the planning of the infrastructure of the colleges and whatever?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am advised there is a fair bit of consultation between the college board and the divisional education councils.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Regarding the input of the regional education boards and the department. I believe there was a request, which I have received a letter from the chairman of the board, stating the money was insufficient and they needed somewhere in the range of $250,000 to do a particular study, because of the electrical and also the plumbing in regards to the utilidor systems in Inuvik. The cost would have been a lot more to do a study versus what your department allocated. What do you do when you have that sort of a conflict between a divisional board and your department?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we are part way through the study right now. We expect the work will be able to be concluded within the funds provided in this budget, but if this amount is insufficient, then we will have to take a look at re-allocating funds from elsewhere.
