Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will look at it. I do have a project as well in Inuvik and, as Members are aware, there are schools in Yellowknife that offer trades training and Fort McPherson has a shop. So I have to be considerate of all schools in the territory, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Member's concern about his school. Certainly I will look at it. I certainly will do my best to provide support for that, but I want to be fair to all schools in the Territories because there are many schools with shops that are not in use at the moment, Mr. Speaker, and I want to get them up and running. I probably will go on the basis of some pilot projects here. We are working with the Housing Corporation on this. They've contributed $80,000 towards this project. We will carry on with it and will continue to seek the support of the Housing Corporation to ensure that it continues next year in Hay River, but as well I need to ensure that we are concerned about Inuvik, Fort McPherson, et cetera. Holman has a new school with a shop and no materials in it, no materials whatsoever. That is of concern to me. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
