I will ask Mr. Cleveland to address that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The approach we have taken is to focus our efforts at the regional level. Our regional superintendents work closely with the aboriginal human resource development groups in the various regions of the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I noticed this department is showing nothing in terms of contracting back the services for Nunavut. There are no further contracts being carried out with Nunavut?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are trying to finalize the agreements with Nunavut. They are in the services of museums, archives, apprenticeship program, teacher certification, and student records. That is for high schools, and student financial assistance until the end of this academic year.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If I heard the Minister right, that is a drop from 15 that we expected when we considered the main estimates last year, to five contracts in this next year. Is that correct?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This reduction in contracts, has it had an impact on the staffing of the department?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we have been able, in most cases, to staff positions on a term basis. We did that starting a couple of years ago to reduce the impact at this point in time. We expect to have some impact on staff, but we expect it to be quite limited. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under program delivery details, which is covered by page 9-11, on page 9-12, we should look at apprenticeship programs. In this year's mains, we see apprenticeship programs dropping from $2.6 million in the revised estimates from 1999-2000 to $2.2 million this year. I know we lapsed $400,000 last year in this program, but are we just cutting the $400,000 here, rather than trying to find a way to market those dollars?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the change in the apprenticeship budget is associated with the changes in the diamond training. I think there is a net increase of about $300,000. With the change of building and learning, from capital to operations and maintenance, there is a reduction as well of $646,000 with the ending of that program. Thank you.
