Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just more a comment at this point on how we are rolling out post-secondary education. Again, I feel like we are very far behind where Northerners expect us to be in providing quality post-secondary education here in the Northwest Territories. I will not argue with the Minister that the Student Financial Assistance program is world-class and gives a lot of opportunities to our kids to pursue educational opportunities across Canada and the world, but it is here in the North that I think we need to do a better job at bringing not only opportunities to students who want to learn close to home, but also research opportunities through these institutions. The college contributions, you know, we could be using these to promote a knowledge economy and to those expanded research opportunities.
Currently, Aurora College does not seem to know what it is doing apart from cutting two programs that are seemingly very popular, or at least an area of concern for many people in the Northwest Territories. So I wonder again if the Minister is willing to retreat from these reductions and reassess the college contributions until such time as the strategic plan is completed and we, as a government, have a better opportunity to decide on the future of the college as the leading institution of post-secondary education in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
