Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And, yes, the Member is right. Within the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, we have a needs assessment, a 20-year needs assessment, and we review it on an annual basis and update it on an annual basis. As you know, within the department, we have to look after schools, colleges, learning centres, libraries, museums, and make a priority out of those infrastructures, not to mention looking at the priorities of other departments within this government. As the Member knows, any time we look at putting in additional space or make it a new school, the utilization rate or the enrolment rate has to reach 85 per cent. Aklavik currently is at 36 per cent, and I know that the Member has brought this up as a concern over the years since he and I have both been sitting in this House. However, with our most recent technical study evaluation, it was noted that the school is in good condition, and that extended the school life for 20 years. So, at this moment, there are no plans for replacement or renovations at Moose Kerr School. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
