Yes, Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thought one of the initiatives of this government, in regard to office space, was to try and consolidate all the departments into one location. I presume that this was the reason for Northern United Place. I ask the question again, will all the personnel of the Department of Education be located in this building?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are about 12 major leases we have in 18 different buildings including our own. It is a detailed question I would like to take as notice, so that I am clear. We have approved a Yellowknife office plan rationalization that we are implementing, so that has to be taken into consideration when we are looking at trying to move departments together. I will take it as notice and get more details. Thank you.
