If that is the case, Mr. Chairman, does that mean then that the school or any school, not just this particular case, but any school would have classrooms sitting empty awaiting the enrolment that is projected to come in future years?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There would be extra space, whether or not a classroom would be empty or they would find a use for it in the school, I cannot say, but when the new space opens in a community the expectation is, with our current capital standards, that utilization would be at 70 percent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is regarding school renovations in Pond Inlet. My first question to the Honourable Minister Charles Dent is that in the 1996-97 main estimates, the total capital projections there were $9,474,000 allocated for school renovations. In the 1997-98 main estimates, it says Takijualuk School. Are we talking about the same school here? Are we talking about the same building here, Mr. Chairman?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. What we are talking about is a new school designed to hold 264 students, as well as completing work at the old high school which will involve selective renovations and some demolition, as well, as building a link between the elementary school and the old high school gym to permit elementary students to access the gym without having to go outside. We are also considering another option, which would be including a community learning centre in the old high school. The change in budget reflects the closer we are a getting to the project proceeding and an upgraded class of estimate provided by Public Works and Services.
