Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of Education. It’s in light of the issue heard in this House where people are asking for gymnasiums for all the schools in Yellowknife. I think I would just like to point out, for the record here, that there are certain communities in the Northwest Territories that don’t have gymnasiums. They have to use the community hall as a means for recreation. In most cases they have to travel to Inuvik to take advantage of the swimming program, to drive to Fort McPherson for the hockey program, because they don’t have those programs in their communities. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister of Education what are we doing to ensure we have gymnasiums in all our communities in the Northwest Territories and for those communities that have to go out of their communities to get these services, drive an hour and a half to Inuvik or a half an hour to Fort McPherson because you don’t have these programs being delivered in the communities, especially the community of Tsiigehtchic? Thank you.
