Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The reason that I raised the question is because I have been asked on behalf of the community and the mayor to look into this issue. This is not something that has just occurred. We have had two fires in the last year relating to Chief Julius School which is a $7 million loss, now, to the latest fire which is in the $300,000 or $400,000 range. This is not the first fire that has occurred in the community. We have lost a hotel to fire. We have lost a curling rink to fire. We have lost a Catholic church to fire. These incidents have been going on for several years. So, I am asking the department if they can send an arson team in there. We should have professionals on staff either here in Yellowknife or bring them in from the south to resolve this outstanding problem. It is costing this government and the community millions of dollars. Yet, the crime has not been concluded. The culprit of the fire of the Chief Julius School has not been caught to date. Thank you.
