Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said in response to questions from Mr. Ramsay in Committee of the Whole, I don't see us establishing a stand-alone university in the Northwest Territories. The smallest university in Canada right now has an operating budget of around $70 million a year. We know that it would be much higher than that to operate in the Northwest Territories. What we have started to do is look at whether or not there might be options to create a virtual university using the campuses of the colleges that we have between the three territories. There's been some discussion about that. There is some interest from my colleagues in the other two territories. I would hope that over the next few months we'll be able to advance that discussion somewhat. Thank you.
