Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the information on the base funding but it does not really tell me much about if there are going to be the same amount of courses or more courses or less courses being offered. Will this core funding, the base funding, will that allow the college to put on the same amount of programs that they had last year with their base funding?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Aside from the third party funding issue, it is anticipated that the money in the budget and the increases to the base will allow us to maintain the current programs as well as the additions that were touched on in regard to pre-employment, diamond training, enhanced training for health and social services professionals, and now that we have passed the motion on the Communities for Skills for Work we will be able to maintain some of those out of the previously sunsetted strategies. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as I stated in the Budget Address, the government intends to increase the proposed 1999-2000 budget by $3.5 million. Specifically, the increases are:

- $1.5 million to establish a labour market supplement for nurses;

- $1 million for the continuation of the Working Together Program; and

- $1 million to provide funding for our Community Skills for Work Program.

Motions have been passed by this committee to add this money to the appropriate activities in the Main Estimates of the Department of Health and Social Services and the Department of Education, Culture and Employment programs.

Therefore, I move that clause 3(2) of Bill 17 be amended by striking out $723.398 million and by substituting $726.898 million.
