Thank you, Mr. Krutko. I did not hear a question there. We will go on to community justice and corrections. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With regard to a question, I would like to ask the Minister what they are doing through a consultation process or a public relations process to ensure that people are aware that there is a fundamental process, an additional process in place through the Department of Justice and that people can access it.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. We are dealing with this one line item under Grollier Hall. If there are more items to take up, it is better taken up with Justice, I would think. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It does deal with community justice and corrections. The Minister did state in his comments that the Department of Justice is responsible for this program and the Department of Justice should ensure that justice is being served and they do everything they can to ensure this program is publicly announced and people out there have due process. The dispute resolution process should not be closed to one group.

Mr. Chairman, I am sure there are a lot of issues around this with community justice and corrections, but on this one, the alternate dispute resolution process, is not a program, just a process that has been used to deal with outstanding claims with regard to Grollier Hall School. It is the only situation where we have these kinds of claims right now.

What other programs Justice may have, I am not familiar with. That is something that, as I said, when we do the Justice budget we can get into those. On this one, this is the only situation in which we are using this process. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A question on the Arctic College heavy equipment operator program, could you elaborate a little bit on that? What has happened there? Has the money been transferred from that program to another program? Did all their equipment break down?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The $200,000 is just a transfer from operations expenses to capital so that the department can purchase a piece of equipment that they need to work on the fuel spill as opposed to renting it. They feel that will give more value to the approach that they have taken to cleaning up the spill which is to do it through the college training program.

Can the Minister elaborate on what type of equipment? Is it a specialized piece of equipment? Are we talking a crane, plane or train?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is an excavator. I understand the college has an old one that is past its usefulness and this gives them an opportunity to own a newer piece of equipment while doing some useful work.
