Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank the Minister for that, but I just think, and I know the Minister spoke of the fact that the Northwest Territories has a small population and you can't deny that, but I think what we have to look at is the number of students that leave the Northwest Territories each and every year to attend universities in southern Canada. I was one of them. I had to go all the way to New Brunswick to get my degree. If there was an option here in the Northwest Territories, I'm sure I would have thought twice about that and stayed closer to home. I think with what's going on in the Northwest Territories today, Mr. Chairman, we should be looking at this. You know we could be a centre for excellence in climate change. Obviously our political landscape is ever-changing and there's going to be much happening here in the foreseeable future in terms of political development. There's that and I think also that it may end up costing SFA and the department less if students stayed closer to home. So I think, and the Minister mentioned it too, there's potential money from the federal government. You know, we should be looking at every possible angle to keep our children and our youth here close to home and if they can go to school here in the Northwest Territories, it makes more sense to me than sending them out.

Mr. Chairman, when we send out our youth, they're the leaders of tomorrow, we send them out; oftentimes some of them don't come back. So I think it's even doubly important that we keep them close to home. We can attract people here. They have a university in Fairbanks. They attract students from all over the continental United States. There's no reason if we had a university here in Yellowknife that we couldn't attract students from southern Canada that would want to come north and experience Yellowknife and the Northwest Territories and get their degree in the Northwest Territories. So I think it's important that as a vision looking forward I think we keep our eye on possibilities. I thank the Minister for that, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
