Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A question to the Minister about the renovations to Sir John Franklin. I am just wondering whether the department is committed to renovating Sir John Franklin as is stated here, or what the situation is? I understand that a report has been prepared for the department on Sir John. The conclusion was that adding to Sir John was perhaps a short-term solution and that replacement was ultimately going to be required. I was wondering if we could get some clarification on that.

I think a report was done saying that the renovations should be done, and there was a suggestion that a new high school would ultimately be required. But, that's without the divisional board and ourselves really sitting down and reviewing what the programming

requirements are for the high school here. The fact is, the assessments indicate there is a lot of space in the building and structurally, it is sound enough to continue. So far, that has been the discussion that has been going on.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. What I'm really asking is whether the department is committed to renovating that school, or will they do a feasibility study to ensure that renovation makes the most sense. If I recall, the costs for renovations were last projected at around $11 million to meet the requirements. I see that we are projecting total capital projections, including the future, of $9.5 million. I just want to be sure that we are not tying ourselves into renovating a structure that may be better replaced.

So, basically, this $50,000 then is just to get together with Yellowknife Education District No. 1 and determine what the future process will be. Is that correct? This $50,000 is really just for negotiations for the future for the high school for Yellowknife Education District No. 1? Is that correct?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is for the programming review that needs to be done for us to consider the renovations that are necessary for the high school.

Mr. Chairman, I will ask Mr. Kaulbach, who is more expert than I am in planning, to respond to that question.
