Just a comment, this $1 million is a result of negotiations with the Department of Education for the new Catholic school. The negotiations, I thought, were very, very reasonable. The Catholic school board acknowledged the fact that the territorial government wouldn't have the full funds for the school and they thought they should make a contribution themselves. They made this $1 million contribution which, I might tell Members, will be paid for by the taxpayers of Yellowknife. One-third of my tax bill, as a resident of Yellowknife, goes toward the school boards. We'll end up paying for that $1 million over the next period of years. Thank you, very much, Mr. Chairman.
