Mr. Speaker, again, this government approves dollars so we can approve programs and services for us in the Northwest Territories. As mentioned, the shop program in trying to expand that into our schools. We have K to 12 in the majority of our communities now. A lot of our schools don’t have the capacity to deliver that program. We can give them the money but they don’t have a shop. Again, that is the type of thing I am talking about by ensuring that they have the physical ability to deliver, not just the financial ability. Again, that is one of the areas I think we have to seriously look at. We talk about physical education and other things, putting more money into the Department of Education, giving them more resources and try to improve the quality of services in our communities. I want to ask the Premier again, in regards to realizing that we are looking at trying to improve programs and services but yet we do not have the physical structures to deliver shop programs and other programs in our communities because our schools were not designed that way. There is going to have to be some investment. I would like to ask the Premier if he would seriously look at the possibility of putting shop programs in our communities by way of additional expansion of our schools.
