Mr. Chair, I think if this is a way that we can access federal grant dollars through universities to work with ourselves either through the Arctic College or Institution of Northern Canada, I think, if anything it’s an opportunity that we can possibly be able to access more federal funding if there are ways that we can get some charitable status through our college system and either working with the universities in southern Canada for that accreditation to be able to access a lot of the federal dollars that are going to the provinces that we can use in the Northwest Territories. Again, I’d just like to ask the Minister to look into that and see if that’s a possibility, because I think it’s a good opportunity for ourselves to get university students from southern Canada to work with the colleges to develop certain pilot projects that we can deliver in regard to the capacity issues in a lot of our communities and, more importantly, develop the curriculum and the criteria for different programs that we can work into either our college programs or even in community adult education programs that we have in communities. I think if there are ways that we can use these institutions to work with ourselves to leverage more money through the federal programs, because apparently that’s what
they do in a lot of the universities in southern Canada, they do access a lot for their grant money from the federal systems. Again, I think it’s something that we should seriously consider looking into and see if there are ways that we can find ways to get that accreditation so that we can access federal dollars to use in regard to research and development for communities through economic social development. That’s something that I would like the Minister and the department to seriously consider looking into. Thank you.
