We do have to realize the high cost of energy in our communities and the effect it has on our residents, especially in our small communities. It is right now unaffordable; we have to make it affordable.

As a government we have an obligation to all people in the Northwest Territories to bring down the high cost of energy and also share in that pain throughout the whole Northwest Territories. I look forward to the rate review before this House sooner rather than later. I will be asking questions to the Minister responsible for the review.

Moving on to page 10-35, Aurora College funding allocations, information item. Any questions? Mr. Bromley.

Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.

Does committee agree?

Okay, page 10-31, details of funding allocated to education authorities, information item. Agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Welcome, witnesses. With that, Mr. Lafferty, you can respond to Mr. Beaulieu’s questions.

Go ahead.

Mr. Menicoche.

Sergeant-at-Arms, escort the witnesses in.

...(inaudible)...27, operations expenditure summary, income security, activity summary. Mr. Beaulieu.

With that, I’d like to thank the Minister and his witnesses. Sergeant-at-Arms, could you escort the witnesses out?

The next department that we’ll be looking at is the NWT Housing Corporation. Agreed?
