Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister also commit to communicating this to the Ndilo District Education Authority on its standing for a gymnasium in the capital planning process and also the classroom expansion? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker only three schools in the NWT are at capacity. One of the schools is the school at Ndilo, K’alemi Dene, and it’s the only school that has over 100 students that doesn’t have a gym. I’d like to ask the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment if the Minister will ensure the needs of education capital, specific to KDS are in the 20-year capital needs assessment? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that we report progress.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I want to ask the Minister about a function for the communities.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Marci cho, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
