Thank you, Mr. Chair. It’s difficult to listen to this, because at the community level, not everybody is in the position at their leisure to move to larger centres. Small communities, we try to at least to bring the services to the people. I think that was the whole philosophy about decentralization in our recent discussions. As we go forward on this, I am just not prepared to support this motion.

The small communities, I think, deserve more resources in terms of ensuring that we do deliver these educational opportunities for people at the smaller communities. At this point, I can see the merit of just really doing a planning study in terms of identifying the possibility, but there are parts of the college that exist in Fort Smith currently in Yellowknife, Inuvik, Hay River and Fort Simpson regional centres. From my perspective, I represent the small communities, there needs to be equal consideration for small communities, which at times lack the adequate resources to deliver proper programs and courses. Therefore, I am not prepared to support this motion. Mahsi.
