Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it is my understanding the community did indicate they were looking for an expansion to their facility. Arviat is one of the fastest growing communities in the Keewatin and probably, in the eastern Arctic, with nearly 1,700 to 1,800 people. You would have to visit the community and visit the centre during some of their functions to realize the building is a fire trap. It is a nice facility. It is not that old, but it is undersized and should be considered as a priority. When there is a major function at the hall it is very difficult to get around, the hall is very packed. I think it should be considered. Thank you.
