Mr. Speaker, as a government, we have to be fair to all communities in the NWT, whether it's a little one with 100 people or a community the size of Yellowknife. So we have to look at need. If there is a need for more classroom space in Yellowknife, we have to compare that to the need for more classroom space in the other community we may be considering. Whichever one is the greatest need is the one that will get the highest priority. We don't try to allocate it all by per capita. It's by need in those cases.
