Thank you. I was just up in Inuvik at East Three, and I visited one of the classes that this is offered from. The experience and the knowledge that that staff has now from running this program for a number of years is invaluable, and I just had that discussion with my department the other day.
The whole point of this is to offer courses that would maybe not otherwise be offered, where there might not be enough students to take a course. In Yellowknife, that's not really an issue. If you have a Chemistry 30-1 course, it's going to be full. The economy of scale is there. I think that, when we expand, it would be taught out of places like Hay River. It would be taught out of Inuvik. It would be taught out of places like Hay River.
We have to remember we are limited by the staff, the teachers that they have in Inuvik. If there is not, say, an art teacher for a year, then we cannot offer that through northern distance learning. The more participants we have, I think, the better and then the wider our offerings can be and we can perhaps accommodate, too, different scheduling. Different regions have different schedules. I do not see foresee this being taught out of Yellowknife. That is not the market. It's not free to set this up, either. There are infrastructure costs in every community that offers northern distance learning, and there would be no point to set it up in a school in Yellowknife, where it wasn't even needed. Thank you, Madam Chair.
