Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As foundations are a problem in areas especially where there is permafrost, is this going to be the total amount required for this school repair?

Mr. Chairman, it's hard to predict that this will be enough money to maintain the building until a new one is built. I think in the capital plan, there's one off in the future years probably in about 2007-2008 we would have to continue using this building, but they are certainly repairs we need right now. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess I am looking for a little bit of certainty here, understanding that future years might be bringing something else down the line, but for the foundation for the Chief T'Seleie School in Fort Good Hope, $150,000, is this emergency repair? A special warrant of $150,000, it sounds like it was an emergency repair that was needed immediately sort of thing.

Mr. Chairman, yes. There was an assessment done on it. The total cost for doing repairs to the foundation is $250,000. The department found $100,000, but we are short on it and required another $150,000. This is an emergency because they have to do the work now, but it is certainly not the permanent solution. The permanent solution will be the replacement of that old school eventually.
