Mr. Chairman, my understanding of the Stanton operation is that they are in charge of administrating 53 programs, with about 80-something per cent of funding from the territorial government and the remaining from outside revenues, including a big receivable from Nunavut.

They’re block funded by the territorial government, and there is a lot of flexibility on how they could manage those 53 programs: a lot more than, I believe, some of the other places.

I think it may be true that there would be a good strong case to be made that they may need to get some rebasing, or they may be able to reorganize their programs and services and minimize the possibility of reduction. That is the work that the public administrator and the CEO are involved in and that I’m involved in somewhat. So I cannot tell the Member right now whether there will be cuts or not.
