Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If memory serves me right, in this current year there is $200,000 in minor capital going to repairs in that area.

Thank you. I'm raising a question there, Mr. Chairman, under the glossary of the buildings and works. I'm going to ask again, just to repeat for the benefit of the Minister, would the department now consider that since the Blueberry Patch is beyond economical repair, if they would consider engaging under a long-term lease agreement with some private developers who can provide adequate and affordable student housing for the Aurora Campus? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess I have to be cautious about agreeing with the Member that we just spent $200,000 on buildings that were beyond economic repair, so I am not going to agree to that. We are not saying that.

In the longer term, there does need to be something to address the housing issue in Inuvik and I have met with the Chair of the college board and we've talked about the solutions to the housing issue in all three communities, Smith, Yellowknife and Inuvik. The all have housing issues. I have told him I am prepared to consider innovative solutions, and I have encouraged the college board to take a look at alternatives that might be open to us in dealing with the housing situation in all three communities.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to confirm my source of information to the Minister, Mr. Chairman, this point was raised to me by the campus directors in Inuvik in one of my sojourns into Inuvik in the last several months. This is just for information purposes, Mr. Chairman, that it was raised to me by the director of Inuvik campus. This is just for the Minister's information. That is my comment. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, I would have to ask the college board to give us a breakdown if they could. We don't fund them by regions. We don't track it that way. We fund the college and the board, and the board, like a school board in Yellowknife, for instance, spends their money as they see fit. They don't tell us how much they are going spend to at each campus they have.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The explanation there that is written in the book is pretty much what it is. For instance, under the terms of the agreement if we need to do some consultation, we receive the funding from the federal government in order to undertake that.
