Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It's a result of there being 33 fewer students enrolled at the end of September this school year, compared to the previous school year.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just for the record, I'd like to ask the Minister why there's nothing allocated there for the Mangilaluk School. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There's no money in here for an addition to Mangilaluk School. I have made the offer to the community to provide some staff to work with them, to examine a small renovation to accommodate the high school. I think we agree there needs to be some accommodation to properly house high school students in that school. But, unfortunately, the student population in the community appears to be dropping. The school, at one time, was looking like it would become crowded and we did have an addition on the drawing board; but right now, school capacity is 330 and the school population is only 203. So it has meant that the addition has dropped off the plan. But there's no question that there needs to be something done to accommodate the students better for high school, so the department is prepared to work with the DEA and find a way to renovate part of the school to deal with the high school portion. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
