Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a couple more things. I have been here since 2003 and I have raised this issue in the past and I raise it again today. I believe the Government of the Northwest Territories has to come forward with some kind of policy that no school, anywhere in any community in the Northwest Territories, can be constructed without a gymnasium. The reason I raise this again is Ecole Allain St-Cyr here in Yellowknife was built without a gymnasium and I just believe, you know, you’re given the statistics of childhood obesity and the inactivity of children. For us to build a school anywhere or to put money into any school anywhere, I am talking about any community in the Northwest Territories without a gymnasium in it is wrong. I think that’s something I would like to see the government come forward with a policy on in constructing new schools; they will not be constructed unless they include a gymnasium. I would like to get the Minister’s response to that, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
