Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as I told this House on May 8, 1996, this project, as all on-going projects, was given priority for inclusion in the capital estimates. We have provided to the standing committee the process for setting up the capital program. The process has been revised and I believe the standing committee has received quite a detailed information package which sets out the process. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question on detail of capital, educational development. On building and works, Baffin region, I do have two questions for the Minister. My first question to the Minister, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Enuaraq, we passed the Baffin. We are now on the Keewatin. If you would like to return to the Baffin region, we would have to get consent from the Members. Could I ask you to hold off on your questions until we finish Keewatin region? I will then ask the Members to return back to the Baffin. Mr. Enuaraq?

Excuse me. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under the high school in Rankin Inlet for a prior year cost, it says $3,090,000. Yesterday there was an indication of where a lot of the money was not spent, although it was under prior year cost. Has this $3 million already been spent?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Part of your costs shown in this budget include the current fiscal year. I believe that will represent the expenditures through March 31, 1997.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it is a five classroom addition that is going in, as well as a new gymnasium, along with a renovation in the basement which may allow classrooms to be developed underneath the gym at a future date.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wonder if the Minister could tell us what the anticipated enrolment might be for the high school in Rankin Inlet. If I recall last year there was some concern about the percentage of enrolment.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not believe our enrolment figures have changed from last year. We are just looking through the information we have to see if we have projected numbers with us. As far as I am aware, there has been no change in the projected enrolment in the school.
