Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would also like to recognize Josee Clermont, who is the executive director of College nordique. It's great that we work together and I am looking forward to further partnerships.

I also want to recognize, if they are still up there, we should have a group of grade six students from William McDonald coming to learn about our consensus government, so I'm excited to have them here as well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, the Echo Dene School will be getting a major renovation of six stations to meet the National Building Code of Canada, as well as to enhance the home economics program offered at the school. Proper lighting will need to be planned and installed, which may require a new ceiling. The current soundproofing and insulation are likely insufficient for the redesigned space, so we will need to redo that. In a building of this age, abatement might be an issue, so we are looking at doing electrical and probably a new ceiling. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we commit to providing that to the MLA. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm sad to hear that it's 50 years old. I mean I know that lifespan within the GNWT was around 45 years. However, in saying that, I've been here for many years, and I know that there are old buildings that are over 50 years that are still standing and still strong. Like I said, what we need to do is we have capital plans for Education, Culture and Employment's infrastructure over a 20-year period. We don't have that currently for Aurora College, so it's a piece of information that we need to compile. We need to look at every single infrastructure asset that we have within...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Excuse me if I get the name wrong. The Charles Yohin School is going to have a complete redesign and renovation to the home economics room, including custom millwork and specialized appliances because they don't have the spaces currently. That's the plans. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, we have met with them on that school. We are advancing with the planning study. Again, I want to make sure that we access the best resources for them. So, we do have it planned that we will be beginning in 2021. I like their idea of looking for a P3 project. I like their idea of maybe working with some of their access to federal money. It is planned for 2021, but I want to make sure that we're doing it to meet the needs of the Aboriginal government. I will support them as much as possible to make this a P3 project or a project that can expand on that school. Thank you...

Mr. Speaker, I am proud to table the following document entitled "Government Response to the Findings and Recommendations of the Aurora College Foundational Review." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was just confirming with my department. When I first took over this position, actually and that's my background, which is in early childhood development specializing within the Social Work area, I talked about having schools as hubs in communities and having daycare providers, having speech pathologists and audiologists being able to be in schools, making it a centre or a hub, or that some parents, hopefully, would alleviate some of the residential fears that come with schools, trauma that comes with that, making it more of a hub.

I'm really pleased to report that our...

I am not 100 percent sure what mandate commitment we are actually talking about, because we have quite a few mandate commitments. I am sorry, but I have to ask clarification on what mandate commitment specifically the Member is asking about.

Thank you. Yes and no. Yes, a lot was done on paper. However, they were using computers, using Excel spreadsheets, et cetera. So, yes, paper, but still using computers. This is a system, and we need to have the proper systems, that will network all of them together. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
