Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's a very good question and I am glad it's been raised. We have the Yellowknife Catholic school board who is interested in developing this centre. Initially, they asked for the property, Mr. Speaker, and we acceded to providing that property to the board, but with the understanding that they would take the program from there. My initial understanding is they would develop the program from within their resources. I have the extra area of concern, Mr. Speaker, or extra area of benefit in this community. We also have the Sir John Franklin High School where a lot of trades programs are offered. All of these programs though, Mr. Chairman, are done on the basis of board allocation and school allocation to their funding. There is no extra funding, to the best of my knowledge, for those programs. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
