Thank you, Madam Chair. I note that there is a new high school for Rankin Inlet for over $3 million. I also have information that the building has barely 70 per cent utilization. I was wondering what the rationale was for a new building if the old one is not even three-quarters full.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Could the Minister explain what he means by an ongoing project?

Thank you, Madam Chair. The planning was under way last year and the previous government had approved a negotiated contract to build the school in the community. The Member is right, those were planning dollars. The construction dollars are showing up in 1996-97.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If the school is only at 71 per cent capacity, why is there a need for a new school?

Madam Chair, as I indicated yesterday, ongoing projects were given the first priority to conclude in the capital budget. This project was originally established because of overcrowding conditions at the Leo Ussak Elementary School in Rankin Inlet. Since the time that that project was started, a similar situation has developed there as has happened at Sir John. The number of students who are being boarded from other communities and are attending that school have gone down, a lot more quickly than was expected. That has left open the space in Kivalliq Hall for Nunavut Arctic College to move into. Nunavut Arctic College had been in the school. That has contributed to a project that started in an overcrowded situation to one where the utilization has dropped.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Is it safe to say that we are actually building a high school to accommodate Nunavut Arctic College?

Thank you, Madam Chair. No, it is being built as a high school. The school would be built as a high school, which would mean that it would be built somewhat differently than schools that serve other grades. It is as a result of grade extensions in other communities that Nunavut Arctic College has found space in Rankin.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I thought the Minister had indicated that Nunavut Arctic College moved into that building, so it is now overcrowded. If Nunavut Arctic College wasn't there, it would only be 70 per cent utilized. Am I getting the wrong picture?
