Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to pick up where my colleague Mr. Hawkins was talking about the need for a dedicated campus of Aurora College here in Yellowknife and I just wanted to take that one step further. I just want to know, and I know the Minister has spoken about the planning and they're trying to understand how it's going to happen, but it's not in the capital plan anywhere in future years. I just want to reiterate how important a campus, a stand-alone campus, would be to Yellowknife. Mr. Chairman, I'm not an expert in advanced education or how it would work, but the North is maturing and maybe it's time we looked at the establishment of a university, a degree-granting, full-fledged university here in Yellowknife. This new campus could be the forerunner to a university, a university of the North. I really think the government has to give that some thought, and I'd like to get the Minister's comments on that. Thank you.
