Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to make it clear I never said that we were going to fund a university in the North. I would dearly love to see a university in the North, but if it happens it's going to be sometime down the road. What I did say was that I thought it made sense for us to see if we could get access to the millions and millions of dollars the federal government puts into research for universities by building on what we have through the college system here, not only in the Northwest Territories but in the Yukon and in Nunavut. I think that, perhaps, by building on those institutions across the three territories, we might have a way to look at accessing some of that federal money to help improve the work that the colleges do.
