Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to give the Minister a little more notice than a few minutes, but I would like to get an update on the progress of constructing a new school in Apex. I want to repeat, briefly, my comments the other day. I am very pleased with the speed with which the department has responded to this unfortunate situation. We have had support given to the community to plan a new school and to renovate a temporary accommodation, people have worked above and beyond the call of duty. I think the community, along with myself, are very grateful for the efforts which have been put in place toward having that school reconstructed this summer.
My immediate concern is, as the Minister knows, the school which burned down had a gym. Members of the community were shown a plan of the Paulatuk School, which seems to be adequate for their needs of a four classroom school and it could be built quickly because it is an existing design. The plans the community saw included a small gym. I have tried to explain to them, since this was an unbudgeted item, they should be realistic about accepting the small gym and it would be the most they could expect. It happens to be about the same size as the gym that burned down. I realize this matter may not have gone to Cabinet for final approval, but can I give my constituents some assurances that the Minister will be recommending a gym as part of the new school? Thank you.
