Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the community of Holman, for instance, is looking forward to expanding their school up to grade 12 level. I am sure the Minister is aware it is currently only at the grade 9 level. Grades 10, 11, and 12 are being accommodated in Coppermine, Kugluktuk. Obviously, when Nunavut comes into being in 1999, the Nunavut government will not be planning accommodations for students in the western territory. Therefore, it is quite critical to this community that grades 10, 11, and 12 be available April 1st, 1999. I do not see a school extension in this budget for Holman Island, even at the planning stage. In order for it to be in place by 1999, it would have to be in the planning stage this year. Assuming the community gave him an official request, would the Minister consider putting the planning funds into this year's budget for Holman?
