Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the administration portion with the program for Cape Dorset was transferred to MACA under the old community transfer agreement process. All community transfers were funnelled through MACA. Our department has previously gone through the process of a negative amount in a supplementary appropriation to transfer monies to Cape Dorset. The program dollars are still delivered through our budget, but the administration dollars are delivered to the community through MACA now. There has been a change in the approach. Things were done through the old community transfer agreements prior to community empowerment. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman. Does that mean Iqaluit will eventually fall under the community empowerment program and would then be receiving funding from MACA for supplying this service?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. At this point, we are looking to negotiate the contract between ECE and the town of Iqaluit. Right now, the approach has been Education, Culture and Employment negotiates the income support agreements with municipalities.

Mr. Chairman, I do not understand why Iqaluit is being treated any differently than the rest of the communities. That is my best indication I get from these figures. Perhaps the Minister could explain that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The agreement with Iqaluit goes back quite some time. We are in the process of trying to negotiate a contract with Iqaluit which would see them treated in the same way as other communities. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. At this point I would like to advise Members of a business which is controlled by me which leases office space to the Native Communications Society. As such, I have a conflict considering this line item and I would like to declare this conflict and refrain from debating on the matter and withdraw from the committee. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I noticed here in the contributions the Youth Initiative Community Groups funding has been terminated. I would like to know from the Minister if this amount of money was used in a previous year.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know that some of this information was provided to the committee. I am not sure if we provided them with 95-96 actuals and the details of that. I am not certain how much of the $295 thousand in the 96-97 revised forecast will have been spent. I can ask the department to get that information to the Member.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have the 95-96 actuals with me. I can read off a number of the groups that received funding, so the Member can get an idea. The Air Cadets League got some funding, the Baker Lake Community Education Council, the Deninoo K'ue First Nation, Dogrib Divisional Education Council got some money, Girl Guides of Canada, the RCMP, Soaring Eagle Friendship Centre. As I said, Mr. Chairman, I believe the details have been provided to the standing committee. There are about 20 or 25 different groups which total to almost $404,000 in 95-96.
