Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As I mentioned to Mr. Delorey earlier, this sort of program I think is on everybody's radar right now. It is an extremely important type of program, but, unfortunately, we haven't identified any money to add into the formula for schools. So the schools are going to have to look for opportunities to partner up. I know, for instance, the Yellowknife Catholic Schools have gotten some short-term contracts with Aurora College for the use of the facility. They did make it available, as I said earlier, to the Dogrib Community Services Board for some of their students to take advantage of over the spring break. But at this point, the schools would have to choose to reallocate funding from within the formula if they wanted to support this kind of programming. All the money that we have that we can provide the schools is going to schools, and we haven't been able to increase that funding. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
