If you will pardon me, Mr. Chairman, I will try to answer the Member's question. The answer is, we have tried to look for some solutions, including an extension to Sir John School. Our preliminary findings were that you would have to come up with $6.6 million to address the overcrowding, and the independent report told us that we need $13 million to address the Sir John if we are going to continue to use it as a regional high school for taking students from the Sahtu, Kitikmeot, and surrounding communities of the Western Arctic. We have not gone so far as to look for other places, such as Hay River and Fort Smith, although we have looked at Inuvik for an alternative highschool for some communities. But Inuvik alone would not take care of the problem if we do not extend grades in certain communities. Thank you.
