Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For the time being right now, that is not the present level with the agreement with Iqaluit.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are in the process of negotiating a new agreement. The agreement expired December 31, 1996 that was in effect in Iqaluit.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. What was the administration about in Iqaluit compared to the others? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I cannot answer the question because the old agreement was with Health and Social Services. It was signed before the program was split between Health and Social Services and income
support was handed off to Education, Culture and Employment. The administrative funding includes social service functions, as well as income support. I am not sure how it would break out. We have since taken over the task of income support and run some pilot projects which have given us, we feel, a fair indication of the various regions of the territories, what is a reasonable expectation of a cost of administering the programs. We are now working with communities to apply that in agreements with them. This is the first time we have had to deal with the community where the circumstances have allowed us to be separate from Health and Social Services. We have not finalized things with Iqaluit as yet. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the case of reorganizing this and coming into line now, I would take it then that this is the amount for '97/98 or $3 million is not necessarily the accurate number, that could be reduced? Is that correct?

Thank you, Mr. Roland. I would like to ask the Members if they could bear in mind that their voices can be picked up when another Member has his microphone live. If they would refrain from holding meetings next to the live microphone. Thank you. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Like everything in this budget, it is our best forecast. There is not a guarantee of how many cases we will have in Iqaluit or any other community. When it comes to forecasting demand for social assistance, we provide our best estimates and that is what we work with. There is no science which tells us how many dollars we will actually need in Yellowknife, Iqaluit, Gjoa Haven, or any of the communities in the north.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For example, if Inuvik wanted to make an agreement with your department, we could look forward to seeing a number as such in this agreement here?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, if the Member is asking are we prepared to move to block funding in this area, we are willing to take that approach if the community is interested. We are also willing to discuss with the community the handing off of the administrative dollars and negotiating an agreement for the community to administer the program. The program funds then stay in another line. Both approaches are available to a community.
