Thank you. Right now, we build the best schools where there are the most students, which means there is not equitable access to all of the facilities in small communities that there is in larger centres, and that is what we are trying to remedy. We could just go by population base, which we have been doing, and we wind up where we have schools with no gym. Then those students, they don't have the time to practise indoor sports, which means they can't go in the tournaments to different regional centres and things like that. It would be great if those facilities existed within communities already and we did not have to put them in the schools, but the fact is: if we want equitable access, we have to change the way we are doing things. Thank you, Madam Chair.
