Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Nitah on February 23, 2000. It is regarding funding for language development.

The honourable Member raised questions regarding French schools in the Northwest Territories.

Ecole Allain St. Cyr is the only French first language school located in the Northwest Territories, and as of September 30, 1999, there were 70 students. It is funded by the Government of the Northwest Territories under the same formula as other schools in the Northwest Territories.

The cost of constructing the French school was shared between the federal government and the Government of the Northwest Territories. The federal government provided $3.5 million and the Government of the Northwest Territories contributed $500,000.
