Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just for the record, I have joint chair meetings, very similar to the ones that Mr. Miltenberger has, twice a year with all the chairs from all of the boards, and that's been an ongoing process since day one. I have met with the chairs of the boards in Yellowknife outside of those meetings, as well. In fact, I met with the chairs of YK 1 and YCS twice in January alone. I met with YK 1 this past Saturday. I talked on the phone to the chair of YCS yesterday. There is a lot of communication happening between myself and the people who are involved in education, Mr. Chairman. I have a report that all of the stakeholders participated in and made some recommendations. I have followed those recommendations and, in the process, it's got significantly more money into the capital plan than what was there before. There will be, I'm sure, some discussion about how to resolve the issue that is outlined in the report. It clearly says in the report that a redistribution of students among available space is required, and the report sets out three different options. Well, I have tasked this committee to take a look at those three options, and I am going to give them an opportunity to try and get that work done. I know they've got another meeting planned for February 21st, and I am hopeful that the members of that committee will be able to come back with some recommendations in their first report to me. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
