Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the new school being built in Pond Inlet will have a gym of 396 square metres, which is the standard size we use for schools that are built for a capacity of less than 396 students. In the community last year there were 213 students registered. We are expecting it will be some time before the school would be required to handle a student capacity beyond 396. Mr. Speaker, we have had, in the past, requests from a number of communities asking that the size of the gym be increased for one reason or another. In some communities we have been able to accommodate that when the community itself has found a way to pay for that.
