Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the area of School of Community Government, maybe the Minister can enlighten us as to what the process will be once we start to see some of the settlement of land claims.
I know the idea of the School of Community Government was to bring some of the controls and supporting programs and services down to the community level, to prepare them for such things. Is this seen as an ongoing initiative? Has it got a time of life to it? Will we see it expire in the next year or so sort of thing or will it continue to go on? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The issue of training people in the communities to deal with day to day administrative matters, financial planning, good governance, council operations, many of those skills are also being requested by band settlements and band councils.
I view this as being a type of program that is continuous. Whether it stays in its present form or, as we move into self-government, what role is played by those self-government organizations in the programming and the delivery of what the school offers, that may change.
Serving the kinds of community based training that is being provided through the school is going to be an ongoing requirement for communities, whether it is provided through the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs or through self-government organizations or through some other vehicle. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Do you see a further increase in activity in this area as we get closer to the settlement of claims? For example, the Beaufort Delta region is pushing for an AIP. We know the Dogribs already have an AIP and are working on a final agreement with this government.
So do we see an increase in activity in this area? Thank you.

No, we do not see any increase in this activity. It is in the beginning stages of the School of Community Government, and things are working fairly well right now. We never anticipated to increase in this area. Thank you.

On that School of Community Government, total operating expense, $1,640,000 and the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs on regional operations, there was $82,000 for School of Community Government there. Are those two figures tied together, in any way?

It represents funding for a regional staff person in the Inuvik region, who works in assisting the school in the activities. It is funding for that position.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can other organizations and communities outside the governments or local governments access this program?
For example, development corporations, which I would say is an integral part of governing the community. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Yes, this activity is available to other agencies of government, like housing associations who work at a community level. It is open to chief and band councils, Metis locals.
This is geared towards people who are actually working right in the communities, in terms of administration and governance. It is there for their development. Thank you.
