Thank you, Madam Speaker. The potential increases in some situations, and I made mention of this during our capital review in November and December, are to meet the needs for this upcoming year, for instance, which would cost us an additional $16 million. The additional requirements over the next five years would be approximately $30 million. The total amount was approximately $46 million, if Members will recall when I made my presentation. That is based on the calculations that have been used previously. Members are all aware of the tremendous population growths in our communities, particularly in the Nunavut communities where the population of students is almost six times what is normally the national average. So we have to be cognizant of that. The population growth in the north is two to three times the national average.
