Thank you, Ms. Lee. The honourable Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, before I sent the letter, I met with the chair and one other member of the board for YK 1 and suggested that with the letter that would be coming that it would be useful for me to meet with the entire board to discuss the situation. In the letter, I included a line inviting the board to meet with me and I have also suggested, since the letter has gone to the chair, that I am ready to meet with the entire board to discuss the situation. I think it's important to remember that there is an awful lot of vacant space in YK 1 and this isn't just about leasing space during the construction of St. Joe's or the reconstruction of St. Joe's, this is because they have so much space to spare that I have suggested they need to put the money that they're duplicating right now on services into the classroom, into services for children so that they get a better education. Mr. Speaker, I think that they're spending over $300,000 that they don't need to spend on administration that they could put into programs and services for kids. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Supplementary, Ms. Lee.

Thank you. My point is instead of the Minister making this statement in the House and the YK board having unilateral conversation with the parents only, I think it would be good if the Minister and the board get together and try to work this out. So could I ask the Minister, and he didn't answer that question, could I ask the Minister to commit to contacting them again and arranging a meeting? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I've done that on a few occasions in the last couple of weeks. I'd be happy to do it one more time. I'd be happy to do it even more than once if that's what it takes, but, yes, Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to meet and I'll make the first contact.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Oral questions. The honourable Member from Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.
