Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman. The occupancy of the housing units in Fort Smith, we've checked into them and the picture that was provided at the time for the committee was a point in time that I haven't been able to specifically point to. Today we have had some recent reports on the amount of occupancy and it is nearing 92 percent. The difficulty we have is if we do not do replacement of units and renovation of units, then if one or two of those units gets shut down, then we would have an overcrowding problem in Fort Smith. As I mentioned, Breynat Hall may have been the reason why some figures came forward that we had empty beds, but that is not the college policy.
I would like to also state that with respect to the Fort Smith students utilizing the facility, it is naturally not the policy of the college to encourage that, but it is allowed in Fort Smith. If the committee is not in agreement for allowing that, that is fair enough. I can certainly bring that to the attention of the board. The board, itself, did point out to me that there is a residence need in Yellowknife that is a high priority for the college. There is a real challenge with that, Mr. Chairman, as you know because we do not have the availability of housing in Yellowknife. As well, the college board has asked that we look at a campus location for the college in the future. If we are going to get into any kind of planning for the college, then we don't want to get into a haphazard approach to addressing the issue of accommodation. I know the accommodation needs are here, but we need to look at it as a larger type of project and I'm not sure whether we can find the funding to address just the residence problems here in Yellowknife. We have renovated three floors already at Northern United Place, Mr. Chairman. Hopefully that helps to answer some of the queries the Member has.
