Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member's statement today I voiced my concern over a contribution of $200,000 that the K'atlodeeche First Nation has had to contribute for an extra classroom in the Chief Sunrise School. Over the last couple of years, the issue of overcrowding has been on the table with the Minister, through correspondence and in community meetings. We've requested the Minister go to Cabinet for additional dollars, and we've been told on every occasion that there are no new dollars, there is no new money. So as a last resort, the K'atlodeeche First Nation took $200,000 out of their companies to put towards the school. Since then we've heard a number of announcements about new schools and renovations. I'm just wondering if the Minister could inform this Assembly and if he indeed made a submission to the Financial Management Board for the $200,000 that we were requesting, over and above what was being allocated. Thank you.
