Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate that the Minister has planned to renovate the old school in Cambridge Bay. Speaking of the old school in Cambridge Bay, the Kitikmeot board of education is in support of renovating the old school because the Kitikmeot board of education is currently making use of the old elementary school to deliver its high school programs. The board is very anxious to have this school renovated.
I believe it was in August, 1993, that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment made changes to the Kitikmeot capital plan without consulting the Kitikmeot board of education. Now, the Kitikmeot board of education plays a high priority on the renovation. They went as far as deferring the renovation to the school in Pelly Bay and also the school in Taloyoak. I would like to remind the Minister and the Kitikmeot board of education that we don't want to lose sight of not doing the renovation for Pelly Bay and Taloyoak education centres. They are equally important.
At this point in time, the Kitikmeot board of education's priority is the renovation of the old school in Cambridge Bay. I hope the Minister will consider doing the renovation early in 1994, perhaps beginning January, 1994. This is a much needed facility. Of course, we would like to have a high quality of education programs delivered, not only in our region, but throughout the jurisdiction of this government. Thank you.
