Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, under capital planning, under directorate and administration, we know what the federal contribution is right now for the stand-alone school that has come out of the cornerstone report on education. We know the dollar values for that. What has been thrown into the works now is the French school. I had a meeting with the Iqaluit Education Council just before Christmas and again spoke to the chairman about a week ago, he sent me some letters on it. They have a lot selected in Iqaluit for their school. They want to move forward and they want to get the capital planning for that under way. Has there been any approach from the Department of Education on capital planning for that school at the present time? That is the concern, Mr. Chairman, that they have a lot selected. They are ready to move. The money has been allocated and now the request by the Francophone community for a separate school and the Minister writing the Minister for Heritage, Mrs. Copps, to have more financing come forward, is seemingly delaying that school. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
