Mahsi, Madam Chair. Madam Minister, it is noted here that highways and roads take up 30 percent, the largest chunk of the budget. I'm not sure what work this all entails but every year, we're fixing up pretty much maybe same sections every year or every two years. I'm wondering -- you know, the reason I'm looking at this and if we -- and, you know, if someone could live with, if there were potholes for several years. Because the hamlet of Enterprise, it is the only community in the whole of the Northwest Territories, without a school. They've been asking, requesting for a school I think for over 15 years, 20 years, and recently, over the last couple years, year or so, all the documentation was lost. Enterprise is the first community coming into the Northwest Territories. And there's not much attention being given to the community -- the hamlet of Enterprise in terms of infrastructure. And a school is much needed in the community of this size to draw people to the community, you know, and then you can build capacity within. All they're asking for is an elementary school. You know, they have very many concerns about the extreme weather conditions that are happening lately, probably due to climate change, and they have a lot of young children, and mothers have to wake up early, you know, to prepare them for the bus. So there's a safety concern in all this.

The hamlet of Enterprise, we need to help them to grow, and that begins with a school. You know, I'm not -- we're not asking for much here. We're asking for consideration to get the groundwork going and maybe preplanning at this stage, which is not a lot. Like I say, somebody could live with a little bit of potholes for a year or two longer and we could make this a reality for the hamlet of Enterprise. And together as a government, we can see, watch as the community grows. So I really hope that you would make consideration for that as the Minister of Finance. Mahsi.
