Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I can commit to the Member that the department will examine our response in this issue and make sure that we learn from the incident anything we can. I can't promise that we will develop an emergency measures policy for each and every school. I think it's much better to have an overall policy which guarantees that the government works very quickly to deal with the problems that come up. It would be impossible for us to perceive what might happen to any one of the more than 60 schools we have in the Northwest Territories. My experience in this situation indicates that the department is really quite prepared to put together a response. I think between the FMB response, the Department of Education, Culture and Employment and Public Works, that they've demonstrated that we can deal with emergency situations. Yes, we will take a look at the specifics of this instance and make sure we learn any lessons that are there for us to learn.
