Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Do they require 500 units for all their students or 400? How many do they require?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is he talking for the whole Northwest Territories or for Fort Smith. I do not think there are 500 houses in Fort Smith.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am just trying to get an estimate of how many units they require for the students that are going to the Thebacha Campus in Fort Smith.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the interest of accuracy and not just taking ballpark guesstimates, I will commit to get that information and will identify the number of units we have, the apartments that are available, Breynat Hall residents. We will itemize the entire accommodation inventory in the Thebacha Campus. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Does the Minister know how many units they provide for student housing in Yellownkife?

I would not want information off the top of the Minister's head, so I will wait. Could the Minister indicate if that housing is sufficient for the students' needs in Yellowknife?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We will provide that information, the estimate of need, as well as the numbers of units in Yellowknife and whether it is deemed to be adequate or not. My understanding is that there are some shortcoming and repairs being done and renovations and such, but once again, I will commit to getting that specific information.

Mr. Chairman, should we defer finishing this particular part of the budget until we get that information?

Mr. Erasmus, this is an information item. It is not part of the budget. Mr. Erasmus, it is the Members' right and privilege to do and proceed as they desire. Further questions? Mr. Henry.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is the campus in Fort Smith, as far as occupancy in the classroom facilities, is it at present completely occupied?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Thebacha Campus, for the most part, is fully utilized. Courses come and go. There are weekly courses, there are semester courses, there are courses based on third party funding. The enrolments, to my understanding, have been stable and fairly average for that particular campus. Yes, I would say that facility is being fully used.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am glad to hear that it is being fully utilized. Presently then, Mr. Chairman, I could assume that these proposed units are not constructed yet so presently all the students attending that require housing are being accommodated in potentially not ideal conditions. I think the Minister said some of the units were a little dilapidated. Am I correct in assuming that all the students who are attending the campus right now are accommodated? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
