Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Education in regards to the Chief Julius School that is presently being constructed in Fort McPherson. Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned earlier on in the week in regards to the construction of this school, which direction was given by the community in consultation with the department, to proceed with the construction of the Chief Julius School in March 1996, with a full-sized gym. Now the community is being told that they will have to pick up the cost difference for the size of that gym, which is in the area of $300,000. Mr. Speaker, my question to the Minister is, the insurance policy in regards to the school states that the insurance settlement shall be based on the cost of replacing the school. Mr. Speaker, the previous school that was destroyed in the fire did have a full size gymnasium, so I would like to ask the Minister if that is the case, why are they not covering the full cost of this gymnasium?
