Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We don't have plans in place for all of the 58 communities in which we have schools, for such eventualities as a school burning down. The department always is prepared to react very quickly to a situation that requires attention. For instance, the Member mentions the situation in Fort McPherson. Within hours of finding out that the school had burned down, the department had put in place a team to respond to the situation and had set up linkages between the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, Public Works, the divisional board and the CEC in Fort McPherson. I think that Members will find that the department is prepared to move very quickly in those situations where a response is required immediately.
