Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I think that is just a little misleading, what the Minister said. I know the divisional boards of education get a total lump sum of money, but they do not have the flexibility of spending where they want. The Minister, and I realize, I think it is 75 percent of the total dollar value any individual board uses or receives goes to salaries. So they have about 25 percent of their money that they can expend. I believe the Department of Education itself, almost 75 percent of its available budget goes into salaries and

the Minister does not have that flexibility either. So I think that is a bit of a misnomer.

Mr. Chairman, I would like to follow up with one more question. Mr. Chairman, there is a new middle school being planned for Iqaluit. It has seven classrooms That school is being paid for by the federal government because of the increase in enrolments anticipated because of Iqaluit being the capital of Nunavut.

Right now it would seem the school's classroom size of the seven classrooms are redundant before the school will be built because the idea is to move grade six and seven into the school, because of the increased enrolments already mentioned earlier. I am wondering, Mr. Chairman, I know I have asked Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Dent about this before in E-mails. Is there any way we can facilitate the extra four classrooms the education council and divisional board of education have asked for, for the school? What is the point of building a school at seven classrooms when it is not going to facilitate the need that it was expected for? The federal government is giving us $6 million for this school, but we need an extra four classrooms. I think the idea was to move up the Joamie School renovations so we can enhance that school, so when the school is built next year, it will, indeed, be there to suit the purposes it was intended for. At the present time it will not. I would like some type of response on that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
