Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To the topic of schools and planning schools, especially in Yellowknife. Now that we are on the record, I would like to add another comment that is becoming more and more evident. I think the Minister has mentioned that he has heard from three school boards in the city that are anticipating new schools. I count four. Then I would add the Arctic College campus for many years, I think since its inception, there has been talk of a campus. I guess my suggestion there is because we are looking at so many different institutions, potential institutions at such a cost and such a large land quantum that I would like to suggest the department take a lead role in doing a city-wide, all-inclusive board survey of the city's needs, perhaps a 10 or 20-year period because I don't know that planning various schools on a one-off basis really serves the community in the best way. We seem now to have so many things coming to the table at the same time that more of a comprehensive review would serve us well. I will stop there if the Minister wants to make a comment; I have one other point I would like to ask, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Braden certainly raises a good point and we can certainly take a look at what we can do. It's complicated by the different numbers of boards we have in town and trying to predict where the growth is going to be in relation to each one becomes more difficult and makes planning an overall response a lot more difficult. It would certainly be advantageous if we could find some way to do that. We will certainly raise that with our partners here and see what the opportunities might be.

To the inclusion in the capital plan here, Mr. Chairman, of K'alemi Dene School replacement and, as we have already discussed, a new potential high school in Yellowknife, are these new additions to the capital plan? I am wondering at what point did these items get added to the plan, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, these were in the 20-year plan, but each year we go through the plan and a lot of it depends on population. What has happened is that Yellowknife has gotten to the point where we can predict when the schools will reach full occupancy, and so that caused that one to get moved into the system. So they are always identified as somewhere in there being needs. But every year we go through the plan and some communities are going to move around depending on the occupancy load of the schools, on the physical condition, the safety issues that we have to deal with. They aren't new projects but this is their first appearance in the five-year plan.
