Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know it's getting late. I will keep my comments brief. I know folks want to get out of here for the evening. We need a new school in Yellowknife. By the government's own standards, that bears true. Like I mentioned, at Ecole St. Joseph's, that's a school in my riding, they are conducting programs with special needs students in broom closets and I think it is unacceptable. I believe the enrolment at St. Patrick High School is full. I believe YK 2 needs a new school and I think it's incumbent on the government to ensure that land availability is available to make this happen. I am not sure of the process, because I am new to this whole system, of how to get a new school for Yellowknife on the five-year capital plan, but I would like the Minister to know that that is a big interest to me in getting a new school in the city and something I will bring up quite often. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, I am always pleased when I can be responsive and passionate and...
---Laughter
...I would like to point out that I have already responded to the Member that there is a new school for Yellowknife in the plan with construction starting in 2006-07. We have already identified in the five-year plan the need for the school. We now have to work with all the boards in Yellowknife to discuss the school and figure out where and how it's going to go. The school itself is in the books. There hasn't been any decision yet as to which school board is going to get it at this point, but we are going to have to have that discussion fairly soon.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am going to ask the question again and do my job before I call it a night, about the Norman Wells museum. I see it in the books here and I would like to somehow communicate to the community. They indicated to me that they were in the books somehow and all of a sudden it disappeared and they are scratching their heads and wondering why. I want to see about this issue in terms of getting this back on the books for Norman Wells. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is $27,000 in the budget, as the Member has noted, and it's based on application. So it isn't a lot of money. Part of the problem is the cash situation the government finds itself, but that's available to museums in the North to apply for. It will be assessed as we get the applications as to how we can spend that money.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The last comment is the museums in the Northwest Territories are an asset to our people and knowledge for our kids. I suppose the museums in what they are doing and I think museums should be in all the regions because there's a lot of knowledge for our children to visit, and I was taken aback when I went to visit the museum in Norman Wells and saw a lot of good things that I didn't take notice of before. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Those are my comments.
