Thank you. Yes, through our community extension program. Let me bring the Member up-to-date on what has been happening as recently as December, when we met with the standing committee on finance. Our plan was to bring all the students to Yellowknife and expand the capacity of Akaitcho and expand the capacity of Sir John, but we are talking about lots of money -- money that my department and the government of the Northwest Territories were not able to meet. As you know, there is overcrowding in Sir John, and Akaitcho is at capacity currently. So we had two options. On the advice of the standing committee on finance, we agreed that the best way to deal with the students was to deal with them at the community level. We thought that for the coming year, if we want to extend the grades in Fort Simpson, we would have to build a hostel. Prior to our decision, it was raised by the Deh Cho Divisional Board -- yes, if you are going to use Fort Simpson as a regional highschool for surrounding communities, we need a hostel because we are at capacity with home boarding. Thank you.
