Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, the Diamond Jenness School is 33 years old, so if the mid-life assessment has been moved from 20 years to 25 to 35, we're on the outside edge of the new time frame because we're 33 years old. I have women about my age in Hay River telling me that some of the carpets in Diamond Jenness were in there when they went to high school. And I believe it's true. I'm sorry, but when I drive down the streets of Yellowknife and I see the beautiful renovation on Sir John, and I see the beautiful renovation on Mildred Hall, and I see Weledeh...I mean, the nice new upgrade and retrofit that was done on St. Pat's school there. I look at DJ, it's looking pretty tired; pretty worn out,

a 33-year-old school, and we got $250,000 in capital on the books for the foreseeable future.

So I'd like to ask the Minister, when was a facilities functional review done on the Diamond Jenness School in Hay River? Thank you.
