I can't answer all the issues that he has raised, because some of them also deal with the committee report. I do want to raise a couple of issues though. I understand the concern the honourable Member has raised with the community learning centre in the Chief Sunrise School. However, I think both of us should travel there. I think one thing that we are finding is that there is a lot of extra space in the school. I think we need to reorganize it so that it responds to the needs you are talking about. I would like to try to address that jointly; I think we may be able to resolve that matter.

On the issue of Kakisa, I believe there were six students. The potential is that it will be going down to four with one teacher. They are now operating in a trailer. Again, I will see what we can do in terms of dealing with this issue.

I do want to say to my colleague that we do try to, and have been trying to, address things based on need. We priorize some of the commitments we are making based on an assessment of numbers, growth and programs. Let me give you an example. We have situations where high school programming is going into communities. We are trying to address those issues as well.

I appreciate the concern you raised about Fort Providence students wanting to go to Hay River. That is an issue that is normally dealt with, with the boards. I support the Member's comments in making that transition, if that is the decision which is made. I'm not opposed to it, and if the agreement can be reached, if the honourable Member can convince the board to work out that arrangement, that is not a problem with me.

On the matter of home boarding, again, maybe that is something we have to work out in the community. I have been receiving conflicting positions. While I appreciate the position that the honourable Member has taken, I think we probably have to meet with the community and I would be prepared to

meet with the community with him to discuss these particular issues.
