Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my opening statement I read a letter from the Chief of Fort McPherson to the Chief of Old Crow in regards to the destruction of their school. In response to that, the community has made an offer to the people of Old Crow to assist them because they have gone through a similar incident a year ago, in which we had to cope with the loss of the school and also, how do you deal with the whole question about where you put the students, and dealing with stress that comes along with a loss of any major facility, especially for the children. In regard to the Fort McPherson groups, which consists of the education council, the band, Tl'oondih healing society. They are formulating a committee to look at what is going to be needed for Old Crow, especially because this fire occurred while school was being conducted. A lot of the children were left with just the shirts on their backs. They lost their parkas, their toques, and their shoes, and whatever. So with that, Mr. Speaker, I would like to question to the Premier if there is any way that this government can assist in this matter to help the Fort McPherson working group in regards to their efforts, allow them with this government, to assist the people of Old Crow. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
