Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect. I heard a lot of discussions about options for residents of the Northwest Territories for post-secondary studies, options at the community level. We do have a fantastic campus in Fort Smith that has provided high quality programs over a number of years, but it is becoming less and less utilized and we need to find a way to re-engage that facility. It's an incredible facility and I would encourage everybody who has an opportunity, to get down and see it.

We need to be open to new possibilities. I don't know what those new possibilities are at this point, but I have had discussions about a possible university. I need more information. I need more detail. I think this Assembly needs more information and more detail before we move forward with some hard and fast decisions. But I think, as an Assembly, we must be open to this concept in how we can improve and provide more options to our residents at a community level but also at an institutional level, utilizing the amazing campus in Fort Smith.
