Thank you, Madam Chair. I have questions on the Minister's opening statement about the performance of schools. But before I go to that, I want to just follow up on the discussions about the separate campus for Aurora College. Madam Chair, the educational facilities review that the Minister is referring to made a number of recommendations including the one about the new school that was in the books that was recommended to be taken out. The Minister has taken that step to do that. Now that school is out. That facility report also recommended that there be renovations at Sissons in Yellowknife, as well as St. Joseph's School, and the Minister has put that into action. It is in the books, so, obviously, the department and the Minister have taken steps of actions on those areas without a problem, even though the catholic school is 97 percent full and there is no conclusion, action or plan as to what to do about the Catholic School Board or what to do with the other renovation needs of YK 1. The Minister saw no problem in acting on those but, in the same report, there was a very strong assessment about the fact that Aurora College in Yellowknife is completely overcrowded. It is completely inadequate and it needs extra facilities. The Minister is saying now that nothing is going to be done on it until 2012. How is that justified? Thank you, Madam Chair.
