In the context of this is what we’ll be doing or is it in the context of a progress report working to the final fine-tuning position? Thank you.

Well, actually that doesn’t sound familiar. Now, when you are suggesting that committee members talked about that, can you also provide... Obviously, then, there must be some subsequent briefing documents that reflect upon the observations it made as well as direction and decisions that could be made on the particular document. Can you provide those pieces of information? Just to be clear, the only thing I am looking for a yes tomorrow is can we get a copy of this information? Of course, we will sort out the timeliness of the remainder. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don’t want to muddy the waters. I will take the yes. Would the Minister make the commitment to get it back to either me or this committee in some form by tomorrow to find out if that will be the case, that she should be able to provide a copy to the House or the Members or whatever form is appropriate, but could she do that by tomorrow? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In listening to some of the comments provided by the deputy minister of health, she mentioned that there was a zero-based review on Stanton. Could she elaborate a little further and even if it is for my benefit if I didn’t hear her give the answer? My question is specific. What year was the zero-based budget review done? Is there a copy of it that can be provided to Members? If so, can I have an electronic copy? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, that didn’t actually answer the question, although it sure sounded close, as in a good try. But what the question really comes down to is does MACA share the specific formula used in the distribution of O and M funding? Do they share that with the municipalities to ensure that they know exactly how the proportion is spread out throughout the Territory to ensure it’s spread fairly and equitably? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too would like to ask questions to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs and it’s regarding operations and maintenance funding.

Mr. Speaker, I, like several of my colleagues, have had the benefit of serving on a council for at least one term and understand how important MACA is to the communities and certainly the funding of their operations. Undoubtedly, I know other Members realize that too. One of the problems we’ve always had, I remember from serving on council, is understanding the formula and having an appreciation for the formula that’s distributed to...

Mr. Speaker, would the Minister of Education be willing to commit to see if he could bring those partners to the table with Aurora College to discuss about putting forward a joint proposal to P3 Canada to take advantage of those opportunities? I won’t name the particular parties here in the House, for obvious reasons. They may not have publicly committed their interest at this stage so I don’t want to put them on the spot. Would the Minister be willing to commit to bringing these parties to the table in short order so a proposal could be put forward? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement today I talked about the further programming opportunities before Aurora College and one of the problems put forward is the lease is expiring in about two years. The issue is about not just the lease, but its present location, I don’t believe it suits its need for future growth. My question would be to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. What is the Minister’s plan to help support the college to move forward towards an independent campus that I believe Aurora College needs to have in the Yellowknife Campus location? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, well, if it is only two years old or even two and a half years old, I wouldn’t define it as old. I am sure we are dealing with other facts that are much older than that. Does the Minister or anyone, for that case, know what that zero-based review would have cost to do? Furthermore, what results have been driven out of this? So the costs and results that have been formalized. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, can I request a copy of that informal document? Thank you.
