Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I respectfully say that he started going on to private sector requests. He didn’t answer that. The only time he said he got a letter was from the college recently that’s an expression of interest. That’s when I asked what does that mean. Then I asked him about, is this the only time this type of request went in. The record will state that he started talking about private sector requests being involved. He didn’t answer the question, which had to do with, has Aurora College sent letters in the past in the last few years to that. I would say that I didn’t get a clear...

Sure, for the sake of moving forward, I will withdraw that.

Is this the only request of this type of nature – and I’m trying to speak in general terms, that is – that the department has received? Or have they received other requests of a similar nature in the past couple of years?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Now I’m hearing there are two or three lines they’re reporting to and I’m trying to get to the bottom of this, that if the college wants to put forward a particular initiative, who do they forward it to in the department? Does that person or persons… We need a clear role because somebody would be in charge of that.

The Minister has been in charge of this department for six years. I have been asking about an Aurora College plan for years. Is someone at the department stopping this? I’m not sure what the heck he’s doing over there. I want to be clear on the record. Who is...

Maybe the Minister could elaborate what expression of interest means.

If a message was sent from the Board of Governors to the chair, to the president to be carried to the Department of ECE, would ECE have the ability to say no if the college, through the Board of Governors, through the chair, through the president said that they wanted to build a stand-alone college? Would they have the authority to say no? Who would that particular person be to say no? Who would be saying no if the answer happened to be no? Thank you.

Thank you. What’s the estimated split between our historical archives and Nunavut’s historical archives? Thank you.

Thank you. For clarity, where is it – I’m speaking to all the archival products, including ours – and what does it cost? Just to make sure that’s clear on the record, could I get the Minister to respond?

Maybe the Minister can outline some of the benefits of how this actually helps the Northwest Territories people. Thank you.

Okay. It almost seems as if we’ve gone backwards on this question. What has the department put to paper on the development of an independent Aurora College campus, and what can they send to my office that demonstrates the work that they’ve done on this planning? It seems like it’s such a complicated answer for such a simple question. What has been done? What has been worked on? I want to see the development.
