Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It makes planning very difficult when you're not quite sure what clientele you're planning for. For example, we called Sir John Franklin school a territorial high school and it kept on expanding its mandate, so that eventually it was taking people from all over the Northwest Territories, from the Baffin, Keewatin, from every part of the Northwest Territories. For one reason or another, young people were going there to get their education. If, in the planning of a facility, you have various people who say that's the closest one but I don't want to go there, I want to go somewhere else, how do you resolve that issue? Is it on the basis of the kind of treatment that the people need? It could be that there are some places where a treatment is offered which is not offered somewhere else. Or, is the range of services going to be such that there is no real reason why people, for example, in the vicinity of the hospital in Inuvik shouldn't be required to go there? It was on that basis that the money was appropriated. It was on that basis that everybody agreed that was a good use of funds and that the range of services there was, in fact, the range of services that people had asked for. How do you resolve that issue of what clientele you plan for when you build a capital facility?
