Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The process that we used was, when I took over as Minister of the department, there was an effort to look at a P3 process and that was not proceeded with. As a result, the capital planning committee from Inuvik was in agreement that there was a possibility to transfer funding from a project for one of the schools and proceed first with the college building. That was approximately $9 million that was in that particular budget.

I agreed that we would juxtapose the funding for that, which left the whole issue of residences, Mr. Chairman. At the time, the residence issue was certainly not brought to my attention, but we knew that we needed to solve the problems of the residence. As a result, we worked on the row housing to bring that back on stream.

We already had, and have now, 30 units. We are bringing 18 more on stream, of which eight will be provided for the public and 10 will be used for college purposes. We see that as a short-term solution, not necessarily one or two years, but certainly short-term being about eight or 10 years, somewhere in there.

I did make a commitment to the Member that we would discuss possibilities and be open-minded about it when I go to Inuvik to discuss matters with the leaders in the Beaufort-Delta. My officials have been instructed to make contact. As a matter of fact, I have already been contacted by way of letter by two of the Inuvik Beaufort-Delta aboriginal organizations to look at this issue. I am open to it.

However, the challenge for us, Mr. Chairman, and why we wanted to proceed with the row housing, is we do need a bit of time here to analyze, to be able to look at the possibilities. We are talking in terms of $4 million plus here in order to put a residence in place.

However, as I said, I am open to it. If we can look at it in terms of cooperation, looking at possibilities and then if I can get a possible proposal that is acceptable, then we can proceed from there. It has to go through the capital planning process, as we all know.
